Earlier in the year, our first years explored the nature and possibility of making drawings on site using materials found in the environment, and last week we began a 2 week research project there making work in response to the very special landscape at the Rodd.  Allen Fisher, one of our ‘Only Connect’ visiting lecturers and the Emeritus Professor of Poetry and Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, is directing the project.
