Micro-Scapes is a project that was undertaken over a 14-week period and in collaboration with Space Studios in London and Colchester. As part of the process 12 artists were paired up to produce works. Collaboratively myself and fellow artist Holly Sandiford discovered a mutual interest in alternative landscapes and conceived the following project. Venturing to local sites of scientific interest (SSSI’s) I created a photographic survey of six nearby locations. At each site I collected soil samples that Holly would then turn into Windogradsky Columns as well as cultivating micro-landscapes in Petri dishes. The results of these she photographed. My own photography then was combined with Hollys into a short film. We used sampled sound from the photographed areas to create a more immersive experience
