The Grandfather Paradox by Charles Ambrose
Wounded during WW1 and after briefly serving as a policeman in Ireland, Charles’ grandfather “Jack” Ambrose leaves his wife and baby son for Canada in 1922, returning empty-handed four years later. Why did he leave, what did he intend to do, what happened and why did he return? A century later his grandson Charles attempts to understand and connect to a man he had met only briefly, trying to reconstruct those “lost” years by writing a fictionalised account of this period in his grandfather’s life.
Charles Ambrose is the pen name of Chris Meigh-Andrews who is a visual artist and writer. After studying photography, film, and fine art, he has worked as a photographer, film animator and video editor. During the 1990’s, he developed a distinctive body of installation work combining video with renewable energy. In parallel with his art practice, he has had an academic career, latterly as an art historian and writer.
