For decades, photographer Cheryle St. Onge lived with her mother on the same New England farm, sharing a deep and constant bond. When her mother developed vascular dementia, memory and emotion began to fade, first interrupting their long photographic collaboration, and then halting St. Onge’s practice altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003eIn an attempt to counter her mother’s growing wish to die, Cheryle began making portraits again, spontaneously, with any camera at hand, searching for light in the dimness of their afternoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003eThe book explores St. Onge’s signature themes of environment, fragility, and human presence, intertwining portraiture, nature, and the passing of time into a poetic narrative of devotion. Though dementia has taken their conversations, these portrait sessions remain a profound exchange, familiar, collaborative, and quietly joyful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eWith every photograph, Cheryle offers a small act of resistance and love: an emotional currency against the slow erasure of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheryle St. Onge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57120725172597,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/4583\/2067\/files\/callin.jpg?v=1777646420","url":"https:\/\/photobookstore.co.uk\/products\/calling-the-birds-home","provider":"Photobookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
