Alton Abbey, Benedictine Monastery, 2018

Nestled away in the Hampshire countryside is the home to four monks and their abbot. Their lives are guided by the Rule of St. Benedict, the guiding principles of an ancient Christian monastic order. The daily rhythm of life is driven by regular periods of prayer, work and offering hospitality and counsel to those visiting the community for periods of retreat. These photos form part of an on-going body of work exploring the lives and disciplines of those encountering a way of life that is increasingly at odds with the culture and habits of the world outside its walls.
