'After an absence & seizure in the early hours Cathleen, exhausted & sedated, sleeps deep into the next afternoon.
Time is of no consequence.
Injuries are common. Grand Mal Seizures can be prolonged & particularly violent. When Cathleen wakes the pain of a heavily bruised cheek bone will be the first thing she is conscious of.'

Jim A. Mortram (September 1971) is a British social documentary photographer and writer, based in Derenham. His ongoing project using photography and writing, Small Town Inertia, records the lives of a number of disadvantaged and marginalised people living near to his home, in order to tell stories he believes are under-reported.
