A daily ritual with Helen Sullivan is a collection of seven life size photographs of Helen Sullivan. Helen is a writer who experiences mental health issues on a day to day basis. Helen asked to be photographed each day at 9:30am in her Collingwood garden, which is her sanctuary. The series began on Monday, that being the day of Helen’s writing group, some of her words stand in her place. We contiunued every day for a week. Central to this series was it’s collaborative approach, the collaboration becoming a ritual in itself. Each day Helen prepared short statements on our sessions. At first glance the images appear similar to eachother. However on closer inspection the complexity of helen’s nature and the poignancy of the series becomes apparent.
