Im/permanence

Join photographic artist Rachel Wright for an evening of images, ideas and coastal imagination as she shares new work created during her winter residency at Cromer Artspace.

Across the dark months, Rachel immersed herself in the shifting edges of the Norfolk coast — a landscape where time stretches, collapses and loops; where the familiar becomes strange; where the boundary between land, sea and sky is never quite fixed. Her residency explored liminality, ephemerality and the quiet drama of change, using photography as a way of noticing what usually slips past.

In this talk, Rachel will open up the creative process behind the work:

• how winter light and weather shaped the images
• what it means to photograph a coastline that refuses to stay still
• how analogue and digital methods speak to each other in her practice
• why sustainable darkroom processes matter in a time of environmental precarity

Expect a thoughtful, atmospheric conversation about place, time and the fragile edges of the world — and how photography can help us see them differently.
