Isolation With Dementia

BY AMBER FRANKS

I am an artist based in Sussex, UK - during Lockdown in the UK, I cared for my 89 year old Grandmother who has Vascular Dementia. For the first 40 days, I documented her daily life throughout being isolated in my home.

In her practice the artist Amber Franks investigates personal trauma and loss in relation to “casual” sexism and its causes and contexts.Her work poses challenging questions that push and question conventional boundaries between artist and viewer. Franks considers the spectators’ space and progression within her exhibits, devising a narrative that invokes the viewer to reflect upon the self. This consideration exemplifies how various experiences of trauma can be dissected into separate narratives, but inherently still coincide with one another.
