Homesick

Brooke Calderwood is a British photographer and writer whose practice interrogates the complex entanglements between family, memory, and the domestic sphere. Rooted in her suburban upbringing, her work offers an intimate yet critically self-aware perspective on familial life, foregrounding the tensions that underpin everyday environments often perceived as ordinary or stable.

Her recent project combines fragmentary literary texts with greyscale, low-contrast photographic imagery, constructing a visual and textual dialogue that reflects the fragmentation of her relationship with her family. Through this interplay, Calderwood examines the instability of memory and the difficulty of representing personal histories without distortion.

A graduate of Arts University Bournemouth (2026), she is scheduled to exhibit at Copeland Gallery, London (July 2026), alongside prior exhibitions at BAD Space (AUB) and Auger Collective. Her written practice extends her visual concerns, engaging critically with the aesthetics and ethics of family photography, as well as the circulation of war imagery in the age of social media. Her work is informed by, and in dialogue with, artists such as Larry Sultan and Sally Mann.
