Welcome to my website - an excursion into my art and experimental photography.

Lake District – Records and Experimentation

November 2021 I returned again to the Lake District with the memories of a trip at a similar time of year to the same area near Derwent Water 3 years previous . An autumn visit to the Lakes suits my preferences. I love to be able to explore the environment with less visitors and with the delight of experiencing the extraordinary colours. Neither trip was predominately for photography, nevertheless my camera was always with me ready to capture my perspective of the stunning scenery. I was entranced not only by… Read more Lake District – Records and Experimentation

My ecoart photograph travels across the globe.

October 2021 Recently an edit of my ‘Project Unseen’ was included in a virtual exhibition curated by Duke University, USA. This attracted the attention of undergraduates in China who were curating a live environmental art exhibition in Shanghai. Regretfully this indoor show was cancelled due to Covid but the undergraduates persisted and artwork was exhibited at an outside Art Fair. They organised the printing of one of my images to be included. I wrote up the story to emphasis the need for collaboration not only with nature but with each… Read more My ecoart photograph travels across the globe.

I explore more ways to re-wild my image making as well as my garden. The results are scruffy, untidy, messy images BUT I think quite beautiful! The prints hold intriguing shapes, colours and mysterious signs of activity. Nature had yet again traced over my photographs and produce… Read more 2021 JULY Re-Wilding Photography

Deep Ecology in 21st Century

December 2020 I was delighted my submission to haus-a-rest was accepted for publication in their online zine. https://haus-a-rest.squarespace.com/blog/deep-ecology-philosophy-for-the-21st-century-by-veronica-m-worrall Image: Mock up sample of gallery exhibition of Project Unseen by Veronica M Worrall My article drew upon my research into early philosophy around ecology, particularly the thinking of Arne Naess (1912-2009). This philosophy accepts our inter connection with the natural world and our inter dependance on natural systems and processes. Once this is fully understood much of the current ravaging for short term gains might cease. This ‘short term cause and… Read more Deep Ecology in 21st Century
