Handheld - Kate Kennington Steer
Kate Kennington Seer shares this meditation on how chronic illness mediates her contact with a single place, often dictating how - the means and the form - she makes a photograph, until, on some days it becomes the subject of photographic enquiry no matter what the situation. This portfolio is an attempt to render some of this visible.

Un-Earthed - Rosie Villano
In this series of photographs, Rosie Villano investigates the question: what does it mean to embody a relationship to the earth?

Upheaval - Frances Bukovsky

Set in Appalachia between their hometown and their chosen home, Upheaval revisits childhood memories and forges new connections between body and geography to assemble a sense of self informed by cycles of grief and upheaved circumstances.
In Pieces - Ruth Steinberg
Looking for a way to explore depression without making clichéd images, Ruth Steinberg chose the cyanotype process for its interpretive possibilities, which allowed for the multi-layering of self-portraits and plant material to evoke, rather than tell, her story.
