Our Planet

My 'Our Planet' project derived from a live brief set for the Batsford prize 2020. My aim was to get out of Manchester city centre, where I studied, and back to the Staffordshire and Cheshire countryside which I spent a lot of time in whilst I was growing up, in order to celebrate the beauty of the natural world. My main inspiration for the pieces shown below came from the peaks of Macclesfield Forest, due to the textures and layers that are visible within its landscape.
