In 2025 I headed east along the South Coast of England. To find a white witch, who read my tarot when I was a teenager, and told me things about myself that I realised to be true some 20 years later.
On the journey I visited places from my childhood, drawn to subject matter that I couldn't understand, until I looked back at the family archive and realised why.
Hauntings pieces together new photographs taken last year and archival material from my family album to form a story about photography as divination, exploring time as a non linear concept.

Hauntings was made as a commission for Hapax Magazine in 2025 and contains writing and photographs, made in 2025 as well as scanned materials from the family archive.
