We’ve had to find ways to adjust our day-to-days, to look after ourselves and those around us, find new routines and reflect on the important things.

In January Bobby Mills joined Lucy Bentham in our talks around the theme of escapism. We caught up with Bobby to ask a little more about the project he spoke to us about Man.

It’s been a huge learning curve, from working around language […]

My project ‘Escape Theory: Sublime’ revolves around a central theme of landscape photography as escapism; borne from […]
