𓃗
Images taken in a handful of close-knit villages in rural East Sussex where I spent time revisiting old traditions in a new time, and followed the historic story of English eccentric, Mad Jack (1757-1834).
I followed Craig Evans, who runs coastal foraging courses in South Wales, where I learned the routes and patterns that Craig has followed since childhood. I aimed to tell the story of ‘sea to plate’ and how much the land on our doorstep can provide.
Environmental story of our waters and the history of those who’ve worked among them.
Ongoing project working with Madeline Hutchins with the Ellen Hutchins Festival and research in Bantry Bay, Ireland.
