Bits and Pieces
Caitlin James
Caitlin James’s work centres around her own grandmother’s experience of having Alzheimer’s disease. She has created a photography book that displays the range of symptoms that her Nan developed over time, such as mixed up jobs that are seen as everyday tasks or like putting clothes on backwards. Her visual strategy is that of documentary photography and aims to give an insight into the life of an Alzheimer sufferer on both good days and bad, in both intimate contexts and social events. Her goal is to spread awareness not just of the progress of disease but as well the symptoms to be watchful of over time.
