" Richard Beaven's photographs return to a formative rupture from his childhood, when his father left his family and the structure of daily life abruptly shifted. Decades later, the work revisits that experience not as a fixed narrative, but through fragments that persist and resurface over time. The photographs move between past and present, allowing small details to carry emotional weight. Beaven does not attempt to reconstruct what happened, but stays close to how it is remembered. What emerges is a body of work shaped by return, where the act of looking becomes a way of approaching something that remains unresolved. "
