For over 25 years, Tessa Bunney has photographed rural
life, working closely with individuals and communities to investigate how the
landscape is shaped by humans. From hill farmers near her home in North
Yorkshire to Icelandic puffin hunters, from
Romanian nomadic shepherds to Lincolnshire flower farmers her projects
reveal the fascinating intricacies of the dependencies between people, work and
the land.
Between 2012 and 2016 Tessa was based in Laos where she
was working on her long term project The Corridor of Opportunity which
was supported by Arts Council England and undertaking editorial and NGO
commissions throughout the Southeast Asia region. Her series The
Women of UCT6 which
documents an all-female UXO clearance team in Laos was published in the Financial
Times Magazine (UK) and online.
She is currently
working on Made out of Orchards commissioned
by the Martin Parr Foundation and Going
to the Sand, an ongoing personal project collaborating with Morecambe
Bay fishermen.
