I have recently discovered a photograph of my great grandmother (1888-1968). This is how me met for the first time and when I came to realisation that if it wasn't for the photographer or the photographer I would have never known what she looked like. As the photo was taken when she was already older and experienced loss of two children, wealth, husband and two world wars, I began to imagine what her life was like before. Having interviewed family members I found out what was significant for her, what garments she wore, what music and poetry she liked. This has turned into a personal project about WOMEN IN MY FAMILY, the intergenerational flows, transmitted skills, ways of thinking, similarities and differences. She may look ordinary to others, but for me she is an inspiration that sparked need to own discovery.
