A Trip To Atlanta

Work by Ashley Sutton-Davis

I use photography as a medium to express themes of racial and cultural intersection, and to communicate feelings of stubborn beauty, alienation and fear. Born in England to a Jamaican father and New Zealand mother, my identity is mixed. My lived experience has created disorientation within the intersection of black and white culture. In my work, I try to express something about the identity that is both resolved and not. My photographic work, and this series, in particular, communicate this precarious balance through the vulnerability, yet the comfort of the subject; my father.
