Mayfly

These photographs were created in response to a commission by Unity Centre in Rotherham celebrating 8th of March - International Women's Day. The project referred to biographies and life achievements of women who should have not been forgotten but who somehow failed to remain in our collective memory.
My focus was on Lilian Bland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilian_Bland
and her Mayfly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bland_Mayfly
which all the series of photographs has taken their name after.

The photographs were taken on Ilford HP5 120 film with Mamiya 645
