Jacqui Dennett
Based in Clydebank, Jacqui Dennett is a mature photography student whose work explores memory, landscape and the traces left by industrial change. With a background in Archaeology, their practice is shaped by an interest in how places hold stories of labour, identity and loss. Photography has been a lifelong passion, beginning in childhood while using their mother’s Kodak Brownie box camera. Drawing from both personal history and social observation, their images focus on overlooked environments, using quiet, reflective compositions to examine the relationship between people, place and memory.
Project Description
Ashes of Industry, Echoes of Memory explores the emotional aftermath of deindustrialisation through landscapes marked by absence. Rather than portraying workers directly, the photographs focus on abandoned fields, rusting machinery, fractured structures and silent waterfronts that still carry traces of labour and identity. These environments become witnesses to communities shaped by industry and later left behind by its collapse. Weathered metal, skeletal remnants and isolated industrial forms suggest both resilience and loss, revealing how trauma can remain embedded in place long after work disappears. The project reflects on memory, belonging and the enduring connection between people, landscape and industry alike.
