It’s hard to believe I’ve already been here a month. So far I’ve spent most of my time exploring the island on my bike, and getting down to some in depth research in the library of the Societe Jersiaise.

The photographic project idea I am researching relates to Jersey’s relationship with the United Kingdom, Brexit and the implications of these things for the finance sector in particular. Understanding these things means getting to grips with some quite complex reading and then trying to develop ways to make these very abstract topics visible, easier said than done!

Hello Jersey! My name is Lewis Bush and I am the Archisle photographer in residence until the end of September 2018. As well as spending the time exploring Jersey I’m looking forward to producing a work examining the implications of Brexit for the island and in particular for the financial services. As part of this I want to talk to islanders from all walks of life about their memories and experiences of how the island has changed over the last 50+ years. Alongside making this work I will also be running workshops, talks and classes in photography around the island, more details on these soon!
