About

This workshop provides a nurturing environment to consider personal vision while offering a deeper understanding of how to better create cohesive and articulate bodies of work.

In the first part of the workshop we have time to immerse ourselves in evaluating the archival material. We split our time between looking at the photographic material and in-depth critiques. Critical discussions about intent, editing, sequencing, and the creation of visual stories balanced with the daily practice of photographing encourage the formation of diversified photographic voices. There is great opportunity for casual conversations, one-to-one feedback, reflection, and the chance to create a project in a small supportive environment. The idyllic setting promises to illuminate and rejuvenate participants' relationship with the visual impressions of the world.

She currently writes for the Photomonitor UK combining the research on the photographic archives with issues of memory and history within contemporary art practice.
