Carolyn Lefley
Carolyn Lefley is a visual artist and educator. Her work uses photography and moving image to explore belonging, folklore and the natural world. Oceanography, astronomy and archaeology have been a treasure trove of inspiration for recent work. ‘Tide’ is her long-term project exploring the ebb and flow of the waves and the moon and stars. Carolyn works with digital and analogue photography as well as using traditional techniques such as cyanotype printing and liquid emulsion. Her meditative short films explore elemental themes. In 2016 she was Artist in Residence with SAW at Yeovil Country Park for the Water Meadow Wood project. In 2019-2020 Carolyn was the Lead Artist for the SAW Woolaway Reminiscence Project.
Carolyn writes about photography and expanded media, and is co-author of the photography textbook ‘Rethinking Photography’ (Routledge, 2015). She has taught as a Lecturer in Photography at the University of Hertfordshire, Coventry University, Anglia Ruskin University and University of the Arts London. Carolyn relocated from London to South Somerset in 2015.
