THREE HOMES - THREE FAMILIES

The home, we believe, is the real schoolroom for life, with the family its teachers. It is in the home that we learn the personal values, attitudes and behaviours that will stand us in good stead throughout our lives, picking them up by watching those around us.   Schools can’t teach such things too well. Families can and do, often unwittingly, through example.

For this project Elizabeth Handy has entered three very different homes to try to capture, in a set of photographs, the ways these families work, care for each other and share their lives.   The implicit learning involved in each situation is clear to see. Families come in all shapes and sizes, some good, others less so, but each family leaves its mark on us.  They matter.
