FEATURED ARTICLES

LETHALITY & VULNERABILITY | Antony Lyons
The Setting: Orford Ness is a place with a constantly changing landform anatomy – shifting, drifting, migrating via longshore drift; undergoing a churn of simultaneous loss and creation. As artist-in-residence there during 2019, my creative research explored...

NO WASTE SO VACANT | Joseph Wright
No Waste So Vacant enquires whether the beauty and connectedness of nature can be found in the least expected and often neglected places. The places often ignored because of our idealised perception of the pastoral and sublime landscape. It was borne out of my...
NEW WORLDS IN OLD STONES | Mary Frances
