The exhibition Worlds Around Us by Sammy Hawker is an archive of recent interactions between artist and the more-than human worlds she encounters. Employing a range of image-making techniques – photography, chromatography and cymatics – Hawker’s work explores interspecies dialogue, material presence and how a practice of curiosity cultivates empathy and care.

Hawker’s multidisciplinary practice forms a vast and ongoing archive, documenting sites and moments of exchange.
