Arts Council England - Covid 19 fund
I'm relieved to have been awarded funding from Arts Council England's Covid emergency grant, which will enable me to continue to practice and survive throughout the pandemic lockdown. This funding is crucial in bridging the current gap with no regular income as most of my work for the next few months has been cancelled.
I'll be using this funding to learn how to make Salt prints using a period recipe from the 1840s, with help online from a friend Rob Douglas who has supported me and taught me to make Calotypes over the past few years.
I'll be printing images of the River Cole from an ongoing project inspired by period Calotypes of the same river by George Shaw (1817-1904). I'll be sharing my progress on this through Instagram @jo.gane1 and this will result in a physical album of the work to date that will be shared as a video.
