Emma's ongoing work is an enquiry into the biodiversity of farmland that surrounds the village of Hamsey in East Sussex. It is her response to news that this area is earmarked for a housing development.

 

She plans to explore, record and celebrate this pocket of countryside incase it becomes lost. It is a chance for her to connect with the location and to explore her confused emotions around the genuine need for housing and an equal importance to preserve green spaces, starting a conversation about these seemingly opposing agendas.
