Steven in his 'Homeless Flat' with photos of his nieces in the background. Scotland 2017. When you move into a homeless flat they are all the same; same couch, same curtains, same furniture. Everybody knows when they come in that you’re in ‘the homeless’. When Steven moved into his flat, his youngest sister Chick gave him things to make it more like a home: "..wee things like salt and pepper and mayonnaise and pictures of the weans (children)". Margaret Mitchell first photographed her sister and her three children - Steven, Kellie and Chick - back in 1994. This portrait is from the 2016/17 updating the series 'In This Place' which revisits those children - now adults - and their own children to see how life has turned out for them.
