Documenting Britain

Ella Dickinson — in-between

I was raised in a small town, which lies nestled in the chalk hills of Wiltshire but London has been my home now for five years.
in-between will consist of everyday mobile phone images curated into diptychs; caught between cultures, classes, youth and adulthood, ideas and reality.

in-between


Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
—T.S. Eliot

This project seeks to represent some of the everyday tensions and contrasts I see around me living in Britain. I often find myself between places, some of which are tangible and some not so obvious. I was raised in a small town, which lies nestled in the chalk hills of Wiltshire and my new home is not so far away – London. Yet in many ways the two places could not be more different. These images depict some of my own experiences of being caught between cultures and classes, youth and adulthood, ideas and reality. in-between is a work in progress and consists of everyday mobile phone images curated into diptychs.
