At first Davey struggled, not only with her photography but with her relationship to Alice. She felt distant from her, unlike her previous experiences. “Obstacles are always about ourselves,” says Davey. “This was my fear about difference. The process of photographing this work helped me shine a light on why I struggled to love her, which was essentially fear and uncertainty.” In time Davey put aside the list of narratives she had painstakingly studied to find a structure in which to work and just kept the camera with her always. Soon the story was no longer about her but about Alice and how beautifully and intrinsically her presence had woven everyone together into an adorable, loving, and strong family.
