Heather McDonough
Cecilia Road is in the heart of Dalston. One resident, Heather Mcdonough photographed her family on a trip to the USA in 2001. On her return she was inspired to create an extension of a family album using her neighbours on Cecelia Road as the subjects.
Using her wooden plate camera, made in 1894, Heather took the photographs in cramped conditions. The rooms were small with low light. The result captures the life and relationships in the family groups down one road.
