Jeanie Finlay recently set herself up as a temporary artist in residence in the homes of seven housebound older people in both Derbyshire and Tokyo. Staged in a series of mockup rooms, her video projection record the self-contained living environments of her protagonists as well as their inevitably wistful reminiscences. This largely unprecedented, highly novel approach to portaiture brings up all kinds of touching details of life as it is lived between four walls, amid the dreadfully small collections of significant belongings, haunted by the enduring presence of lost loved ones. Most moving is the portrait of Aiko-san who took photgraphs of her sky outside her Tokyo window every day for 26 years. This discovery of a cenceptual and poetic artist of rare merit sadly took place just two days before `aiko-san was transferred to an "old folks home". Mick Martin, The Guardian, September 2005
