Essay by Camilla Brown
An exploration of the mysterious brotherhood of Freemasonry. Born into a family with three generations of Freemasons, the artist goes beyond her close links and reveals insightful surprises about the 300-year-old organisation. Having long been labelled an 'old boys club' and 'secret society', the many pre-conceived ideas about masonry are challenged through a series of portraits, interiors, still lifes, archives and testimonials, sharing the individual experiences of both male and female members. An accompanying essay further investigates the history of the brotherhood and its public perception, discussing the roles of gender, religion, class and charity as well as a photographic history.
