What a wonderful conversation with photographer, Sarah Connell.

It was a joy to discover more about this very creative "hopeful caterpillar" and how she uses analogue photography to explore the natural world and encourage contemplation.

She has recently been awarded an Arts Council England grant for a new research project on the Yorkshire Moors, where she'll be employing camera-less techniques and plant-based processes to delve deeper into the world of sustainable photography.

Listen along to discover more about our chat relating to photography as an extractive medium, but also how we manage our use of it to create art and encourage environmental thinking and action.
