In sickness and in health

More about the book

In Sickness and Health forms the final stages of The Parents series. Begun in 2000, it shows his parent's deterioration and, ultimately, his mothers' death. The hospital and church visits became more frequent, the ailments more serious, the drugs regime ever more complex. Whilst his father struggled with his new role as a carer, Gray found that his photographs helped make sense of the deterioration and loss he was experiencing. Having reached the age his parents were when he started the project, Gray now sees their history in his own future.
