I am compelled to return again and again to explore my relationship with the landscape and the people living here. It is reassuring to witness the pioneering spirit of those living on and within the resources of their surroundings, and I wanted simply to capture intimate moments in families striving to create a way of life they believe in. My journey takes me through seasons, rituals, gatherings and day-to-day life. I witness a sense of belonging and identity within these rich bonds of family and community.\u2019 Somerset Stories, Fivepenny Dreams reflects on the sense of belonging and identity connected to Venetia\u2019s childhood home. Exploring the haunts of her youth and the lives of the current inhabitants, the series intimately documents her surroundings and families who live there.This five year project was published in 2008 and was recently shown<\/em> at the<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1507749109290_489\" class=\"sqs-gallery-design-strip-slide sqs-active-slide loaded\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;font-family:'Noto Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;\" src=\"https:\/\/debraflynnphotographyblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/10\/0dd58-015.jpg?w=584\" alt=\"015.jpg\" \/><\/h5>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1507749109290_490\" class=\"sqs-gallery-design-strip-slide loaded\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;font-family:'Noto Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;\" src=\"https:\/\/debraflynnphotographyblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/10\/e7361-014.jpg?resize=500%2C193\" alt=\"014.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"193\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">photos by Venetia Dearden<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>JH Engstr\u00f6m: www.jhengstrom.com\/fbh1.html<\/li>\n<li>Roni Horn: www.tate.org.uk\/whats-on\/tate-modern\/exhibition\/roni-horn-aka-roni-<br \/>\nhorn\/roni-horn-aka-roni-horn-explore-exhibitio-10\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#3366ff;\">This is a photographer who has developed a connection to a place other than the one she was born and has been returning again and again to document it change, she sees the landscape as growing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tom Hunter: www.purdyhicks.com\/display.php?aID=10<\/li>\n<li>Karen Knorr: http:\/\/karenknorr.com\/photography\/belgravia\/\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#3366ff;\">I didn&#8217;t really like these photos, the photographer wasn&#8217;t trying to present lovely portraits but social comment on the places these people inhabited both phyisically and mentally.\u00a0 There was real sense of dis-ease, and a cold detachment within them, which I think is what she was trying to convey.\u00a0 Perhaps it&#8217;s my lack of connection to that kind of life that sits uneasy with me?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Peter Mansell: www.weareoca.com\/photography\/peter-mansell\/<\/li>\n<li>Marc Rees: www.r-i-p-e.co.uk\/<\/li>\n<li>Jodi Taylor: www.weareoca.com\/photography\/photography-and-nostalgia\/\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#3366ff;\">Really liked this photographer&#8217;s work, it seemed to make sense.
