Chalk in the Blood Screenings

During 2024 and 2025 I continued to show my short film Chalk in the Blood at a number of events and venues, including John Hansard Gallery in Southampton as part of my Pop-Up Studio Residency, Exeter Art Week venues with A Sometimes Project, and Lower Hewood Farm as part of Rural Facets with Visual Arts South West and More Than Ponies. 

Interactive Walks

I've recently led artist walks for groups on behalf of UP Projects in Liverpool, Hauser & Wirth/Spike Island in Somerset, and Queer in Wiltshire in Devizes.

Each walk used creative methods to explore and document embodied experiences of the locality, responding to themes of regenerative pracrtices and wetlands, queer ruralities and queer perspectives on heritage. Please get in touch if you're interested in me working with you to develop a similarly creative, site-specific, interactive walk, either as part of a conference or seminar or as a standalone event.

Not Bourne Yesterday: Chalk Stream Communities of the Chilterns

From Autumn 2025 to Spring 2026 I will be working as an advisor to this HLF funded community chalkstream project, supporting the development of project plans, to creatively engage the diverse communities of the Chilterns with their local

chalkstream.

Not Bourne Yesterday is a Chilterns National Landscape project.

Where Does a River Begin?

In October 2025 I worked with Forest of Imagination in Bath to develop creative outdoor learning sessions for pre-school, primary and home education groups, using the question 'Where Does a River Begin?' as a starting point, using our senses to map the movement of water via Entry Hill to the Lyn Brook, a local tributary of the Bristol Avon.

John Hansard Gallery

In Spring 2025 I was invited to carry out a Pop-Up Studio Residency at the Southampton based John Hansard Gallery, responding to the themes of the Emma Critchley Soundings exhibition, and my own Queer River research.

In the Summer I worked with young people at the gallery and the Southampton Hospital School, to imagine and construct Gardens of the Future.

PAC Artists' Group

PAC (Practicing Artists Commoning) was set up by Artist Laura Eldret as part of the New Forest based contemporary arts programme More Than Ponies with the support of A Space Arts, Southampton.

PaC is a peer group for artists. Together we carry out creative investigations into the New Forest area and create a forum of support, sharing, caring and exchange to strengthen one another’s practice. We meet IRL to walk, sit, talk and often eat together

For information on the other artists involved, see the PAC page on the More Than Ponies website.

Neuroqueer Ecologies is a new strand of research that I am developing, which evolved out of Queer River. Neuroqueer Ecologies focuses on Neurodivergent experiences of and perspectives on place, and what these can teach wider society in a time of ecological crisis.

Please visit the Neuroqueer Ecologies page on the Queer River website for more information, or get in touch here.
