Sian Davey, a mother of four, was pregnant with her youngest child when she was told there was a good chance her daughter would be born with Down syndrome. While the decision to go through with the pregnancy was an easy one for Davey, it didn’t prepare her for what it would be like.

In addition to a fear that her daughter Alice would be treated unfairly, Davey had concerns about how her family would handle things and even her own expectations for Alice. “When you have children with Down syndrome, it becomes about them having Down syndromes,”she said.“They have a condition. It’s almost as if they don’t have a personality and she wasn’t Alice. She was Alice with Down syndrome.”

Davey explored various narratives about her relationship with her daughter, as well as her ideas of what her daughter might be experiencing, in the series Looking for Alice, shot on film with a medium-format camera. It is one of many projects in which she has immersed herself since deciding to follow a career as a photographer.

“When we have a child who doesn’t have learning difficulties or Down syndrome, we all project on them that my child is going to be this or that, we immediately have expectations, but I wasn’t allowed any here. I was dealing with very different territory, ”she said.“It’s a great exercise in looking at oneself and seeing what we do to our children and these expectations we have for them. What I found fascinating was, once I got my thinking mind out of my way, the perception of photography as a medium of communication.”Davey said nearly all of the photos have been taken either inside their home or no more than a 10-minute drive away. “I sit back and watch and I can kind of hear and see so I’m combining all my senses to what’s going on around me.”
