"Farms are held together with baling twine. These blue, orange, and yellow threads join fences, hold gates or doors closed, and tie up feed sacks. My photographs reveal the isolation, mental and physical hardship farmers face, caused by the ‘just get through the day’ mindset embedded within farming culture. Farmers can struggle to release themselves from the farm ‘bubble’ to realise the unsustainability of holding a lifestyle together with baling twine. Eventually, the string will fray and break. This collection of photographs captures some of the baling twine knots on my family farm in rural Shropshire."
