The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, first published in 1986, remains a landmark of contemporary photography - a visual diary of a world visceral, charged and seething with appetite for living. Sisters, Saints and Sibyls is a haunting meditation on female mental health, trauma and addiction, weaving together medical records, family photographs and mythological allusion.
