Harri Harrison (they/them) works with people, performance, written and light-projected text, plants, and alternative photography processes - working directly outside with or in response to urban landscapes. Their work is concerned with collective and personal expressions of grief and gratitude, and the definition of ‘home’- in particular how these experiences help us understand our place in ‘nature’, and future communities. They seek urgent questions and mantras relevant to places we inhabit, and to the communities and non-humans we share space with. They consider wherever we travel through and stand upon as ‘home’, though not always the home we wish for - who and what is missing? How do we celebrate what we have, fight for what could be, and mourn what was and was not? HH often holds listening circles, cyanotype workshops and participatory walks following repeating calls. Their repeating calls are central to their practice (and own self-care) currently existing as large transitional, text-based performances projected onto urban surfaces with a handheld projector, and in contrast small and intimate process-led cyanotypes toned with plants. Both forms hold and direct light as a medium. http://www.hayleyharrison.co.uk
