Notes
Jersey-born artist Emily Allchurch lives and works in Hastings, East Sussex. She studied at the Kent Institute of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art. Allchurch uses photography and digital collage to reconstruct Old Master paintings and prints to create contemporary narratives. She has exhibited in the UK and internationally and her works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Fidelty in Tokyo and the Museum of London.
The Closer to Home series was completed under Covid restrictions, with daily walks in the East Sussex countryside inspiring a new collection of landscapes following a calendar year, not only in celebration of the natural world, but also as a reminder of its precarious fragility. The image for November captures the Long Man of Wilmington, chalked into the hillside of the South Downs near Polegate, set against luminous red maple leaves.
