This photograph has the appearance of a documentary image but is a carefully composed tableau. Artist and activist Mark Neville's work often subverts documentary photography practice, in favour of a fluctuating depiction of identity. His work investigates how the production and dissemination of images is influenced by class and wealth. During his artist residency at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute, he explored the relationship between landowners, people working the land and animal life. This photograph involved working with the sitter Annie to create the scene, including by bringing the goat, ordinarily outdoors, into the kitchen. The image is one of a series, Tula Fancies, of rural life on Bute. To create the images, Neville referred to a wider range of imagery, from Old Master paintings to 1920s Soviet photographs.
