Opening night - At Life's Edge

At Life’s Edge is a work of poetry and documentary photography from the personal perspectives of father and son, in their first artistic collaboration. 

Revd Dr Bill Jenkins, poet and Hills resident of almost 40 years, pairs with his photographer son Hugo Jenkins to produce poetry paired with black and white documentary images of life in Western Australia. 

They speak of being at the edge of life: togetherness, loss, inhumanity, joy, and love. Life, through the pen and camera of two Hills residents. The poetry compositions span Bill’s life; however, the photography is freshly produced for this exhibition, all captured within nine months to the end of November 2024
