I am pleased to announce I have been selected for a residency immersing participants in the Ashcombe Woods, Dorking, Surrey in May 2023. High up in the Surrey Hills, there is a mixture of native broadleaf woodland; home to oak, holly, silver birch, yew trees and heath. There is a diverse community of breeding birds, insects and beetles, which includes the satin raise moth and white admiral butterfly. The residency aims to consider ways in which to deepen our experience of presence through analogue film and photography processes including 8mm, 16mm, processing with plants and phytograms.
