Description
Clare Gallagher signing copies of her new book The Second Shift in our photobook shop.
‘The Second Shift is the term given to the hidden shift of housework
and childcare primarily carried out by women on top of their paid
employment. It is physical, mental and emotional labour which demands
effort, skill and time but is unpaid, unaccounted for, unequally
distributed and largely unrecognised.
Hidden in plain sight and veiled by familiarity and insignificance,
the second shift is largely absent from photographs of home and
family. This work is an attempt to recognise the complexity and value
of this invisible work. It is a call for resistance to the capitalist,
patriarchal and aesthetic systems which ignore it.’ CG

Between Spaces: Garry Loughlin
Whilst there is a photography tradition of documenting the American road trip, I felt that traveling by bike would expose me to opportunities and encounters that could be overlooked if travelled by car or bus. Taking a slower pace and being on my own speed allowed me, as an observer passing through small American towns, to see the beauty in the banality of everyday life. I feel the decision to cycle not only gave me a stronger connection the landscape but also to the people I met along the way.
