ON NOW: Small Town Inertia -Documentary & Portraits by J A Mortram
12/01/2019 – 24/03/2019
Jim has been photographing the lives of people in his community who, through physical and mental problems and a failing social security system, face isolation and loneliness in their daily lives. His work covers difficult subjects such as disability, addiction and self-harm, but is always with hope and dignity, focusing upon the strength and resilience of the people he photographs.
