In September I spent time in Leeds finishing my artist in residence with the talk at the Photographic Garden Symposium organised by the Sustainable Darkroom collective at Leeds Arts University. My talk named Constructed Wetlands & Deconstructed Borders was bringing closer the reserach on the wastewater treatment method and its use in the photographic darkroom and my conceptual conclusions on the sustainable practice that leads to establishing relationship and deconstructing borders between humanature.
Prior to the talk I had a workshop in making hybrid chemigrams giving context about the process, my concept and research for the Sustainable Darkroom.
