Sorting Out Other People’s Lives (1978) portrays Kit Stone, an inhabitant of the Ocean Estate in East London, through images of her family life – defined through environment, education, economic and social situation – juxtaposed with others of her engagement in four voluntary organisations. The four panels set up a contrast between the inner reality of home and the wider reality of active community service – each with their own pressures.
