Untitled - Ghana 1996
Eileen Perrier was born in London and comes from a cultural background of Ghanaian and Dominican descent. This has presented her with questions around, identity, diversity and placement.
Through personal work and commissioned projects Perrier has photographed different members of her family living in London and Ghana and also includes sitters she has encountered through various strategies; such as their occupation; location or a physical trait.
Each sitter is usually presented with a copy of their portrait as a thank you for their collaboration.
