The work of Sarah-Jane Field, Rowan Lear and Mandy Williams deals with divergent topics. Field's why is there an astronaut in a field of flowers/ investigates boundaries between, and the enmeshment of, flesh and technology; Williams' England explores the exclusionary politics of our contemporary landscape; in a sudden branching, Lear queries vegetal life, inheritance, and the event of bifurcation. However, there is a common thread: an investigation of the lines that demarcate bodies, worlds, disciplines and time. Come along to find out how they each relate to the image in their work, and why photography is, or isn't, their favoured medium.

Sarah-Jane Field works with still, moving, original and found images as well as text. She enjoys setting up feedback loops between various bits of matter and language, as well as exploring the sort of chaos that emerges when systems change. Her work has appeared in PH Museum’s first mobile photography book (2020), Independent Photography magazine fLIP (2019), and included in several ShutterHub exhibitions, as well as pic-london’s After School Collective.

Rowan Lear’s materials are old and new media, orphan images, found objects, and language itself. Their work follows a line of flight between lively materials – minerals, bacterial colonies, vegetal life – and the sticky ways of thinking and being that they bring forth. Rowan initiated Planetary Processing, a gathering of artists speculating on celestial, ecological and bodily systems, and is completing doctoral research examining gesture, sensation and pollution in the photographing body. Rowan is presently artist-in-residence at Birnam Arts, and a seed librarian at Glasgow Seed Library.

Mandy Williams works with photography, video and sound to disrupt and expand traditional representations of landscape. She studied Art History at Warwick University and Film at Goldsmith’s College. She recently graduated with a distinction from LCC, University of Arts London, in her Photography MA. She has exhibited her photography and video in solo and group exhibitions in the UK and overseas. She was shortlisted for the 2018 Hariban Award, and her book, Sea Level, was published by Another Place Press in 2020.
