Micro-scapes was a project undertaken over a 14-week period in collaboration with Space Studios in London and Colchester and as part of their Collaborative Residency Program where artists are paired together. I was paired with Norwich based artist Holly Sandiford (Instagram: @holly.sandiford}. With a shared interest in alternative landscape we decided our project would take a look at some local sites of scientific interest (SSSI’s). I created a Photographic Topographical Survey of each area highlighting areas of geological and biological separation and change . Holly used soil samples from each site to cultivate micro-landscapes in Petri dishes and create Windogradsky Columns which were then photographed. Our joint effort was compiled into a video which uses sound samples from each site as a soundtrack.
