Weekly Post: Trish Morrissey by Jessica Fee

Trish Morrissey worked on a body of work called "Seven Years" from 2001-2004. Trish uses herself and her sister in the photographs to mimic what she considers the iconic family images. She titled the body of work "Seven Years" because that is the age difference between her and her sister.

All of the photographs take place in their family home in Dublin. Trish acts as a photographer, director, narrator and model for this work. Her goal was to use the body language of the models to express what psychologically can seep through the photographs that occurs in all family dynamics. In each photograph Trish and her sister assume different roles and different characters, so each photograph is telling us something different about family dynamics and relationships.
