iPray. A week with Arnulfo
2012
I met Arnulfo on the island of Bohol. He is an incredibly brilliant man with a love for history, especially the colonial history of the Philippines. In his early life, he worked as a lawyer in Manila, but his mental health declined when his wife died, so he decided to return to his native Bohol. Here he worked odd jobs while trying to get better and rekindle a strained relationship with his children, who were teenagers at the time of the project. I immediately loved Arnulfo’s propensity for the absurd, the comical, and the metaphysical. These stills trace a week of filming with him around the island.

The great commission

2011
Between January and May 2011 I spent time with the people of an East London church called The Great Commission. I was interested in understanding faith and its workings in the context of migration and disenfranchisement.
Years before, when I was a teenager, my mother left home for a year to spend time living in the UK by herself, when she returned she was a fervent Christian. This series was the beginning of a long journey exploring my mother’s history in an attempt to understand our relationship.
