Jim’s Castle

Jim’s Castle is the early stage of a photographic study which includes the changing meaning of home, set within a remote and exposed landscape in Cornwall. The first part of this work centres on a house built almost entirely by one man—Jim—who, over years of solitary effort, transformed derelict shells once used by travellers into a home. Left unfinished and exposed to the elements for nearly twenty years, the building now sits in a state of slow decline.
