Sydney and Flora

Geoffrey Biddle’s photographs of his aunt and uncle, Flora and Sydney Biddle, are startling works that explore love, aging, life and death, the complexities of family ties, and the power of the family unit.

• “These photographs concern themselves with paradox. There is anarchy in them as well as serenity; they are overwrought and calm, remote and intimate, solemn and comical (the distinction of male/female is subtly absent). There is witchery here, and the omnipresence of spirits.” — Susanna Moore
