Compost

Laura Porter


Working with discarded clothing – a material that carries with it cyclical histories of land, worker, consumer and waste – Laura breaks down the garments to create a raw material that is re-formed into solid structures, which are often a response to the environments in which she works. 

​ 

Intrinsically grounded in the traditions of craft and textiles art, Laura’s practice pushes back against an automated, digitised world and hierarchies of... more

Grassroots girls

Amanda McCormack

Supported by an Arts Council England DYCP grant, photographer Amanda McCormack spent six months capturing images of Fremington FC’s female teams from the Wildcats, who start at 5 years old, to the women’s team aged 16 and up.
The project has been about more than just getting action shots says Amanda: “I wanted to show the strength and resilience of the girls' sport at grassroots level. I got much more than that. There have been many exciting moments but the quiet, off pitch scenes have also provided some beautiful images telling the story of what grassroots sport is all about.”... more

Netti Habel

 

'I use the camera to record people and places by the light of the full moon. Shooting at night requires the use of exposures of about a minute.

I record the wildlife, plant life, weather, seasons, star-and moonscape, and the cottage, at Halsdon Mill where I live. In the intimacy and focus created by opening the shutter in the quiet of night and for a minute at time, I am exploring the deeply human wish for connection with one's surroundings and the natural world; the need for rootedness and home.

For the portraits, the sitters are encouraged... more
