About

Pictures from the Gardenis a collection of seven powerful photographic essays made in response to Paddy Summerfields influential book,Mother and Father,by leadingUKphotographers.

Summerfields 2014 publication, set mainly in his parents north Oxford house and garden, is a poignant and durational examination of his relationship with his parents as their lives together faded. On publication Summerfield received wide praise with the Guardians Sean OHagan describingMother and Fatheras a…profoundly sad and beautiful book.

InPictures from the Gardenthe photographers, each of whom has drawn inspiration fromMother and Father, travelled to Summerfields house in Oxford to discover a personal route to explore the emotions and themes that were evoked in the book.By photographing in the same space that set the scene for Summerfields original work, the photographers imbued themselves in the physical and psychological world depicted in its pages.
