I have recently returned from a month long residency TOMBOLO, organised by Lay Of The Land. The residency took place in West Cork, Ireland and was focused on making collaborative pieces for an outdoor exhibition. During the residency, we created a Sea Cyanotype, a Landotype and OI, a series of flags which framed the landscape. Whilst there, I also created a Sun Dial Cyanotype and a new set of photographs for my Ancient Light series.

The purpose of the residency is to develop approaches to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly photographic practice, specifically focusing on traditional and alternative forms of photographic printmaking. I will be running a caffenol (coffee, vitamin c, soda crystals and salt) developing workshop, and will be creating a series of anthotypes.

The Stuff Of Photography
The Photographers' Gallery
|
|
I have received AHRC funding to attend The Stuff Of Photography workshops at The Photographers' Gallery. This five-week series of workshops led by Michelle Henning and Rowan Lear, with guest speakers Esther Leslie and Louise Purbrick, will examine the materials of photography from a range of critical, cultural and creative perspectives.
Together, we will consider photographs not simply as images, but as chemical and physical objects, products of industrial processes, and as lively things that sense and react to their environments. Drawing on archival objects, short texts and images, we will share ideas around the sensual, social and ecological impact of photographic materiality.
The course will also explore the changing material infrastructures that underpin photographic production, from mines, abattoirs and gelatin processing plants, to pollutants and byproducts. What is it like to work with light-sensitive materials, which also react to human skin and changes in temperature and humidity?

I am delighted to have been chosen for the Grantham Art Prize, awarded by the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Royal College of Art. I was able to attend the Joya Arte and Ecologica Residency in Spain to create a series of spinach anthotypes, for the exhibition which opened in April. You can read more on my website, on the Grantham Institute Blog and on the Joya website.
