​Part of the United Nations “2026 Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists,” my latest work documents the residents and workers of the Larzac plateau, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Millau, France. The collection features ten portraits rendered in graphite pencil and screen-printing ink and follows on from the first exhibition in the series - Individuals: at Sea.

 

The project is an ongoing series that seeks to engage deeply with each sitter’s personal experiences. These works act as both intimate records and broader social documents – preserving lived experiences of the individuals themselves, their families, and the wider community, while contributing to a collective understanding of contemporary life.

In a dynamic fusion of visual and auditory storytelling, each portrait includes a QR code allowing visitors to listen to abridged interviews conducted by Radio Larzac. These audio histories provide a first-hand look at the lives of those protecting this threatened environment. 

The Larzac is renowned not only for its organic farming and rugged beauty but for its history of social resistance. In the 1970s, the community successfully fought a ten-year non-violent battle against military expansion, a movement that laid the foundations for modern anti-globalism. 

As well as the farming community the exhibition will focus on the various creative trades who have generated growth within the area.

Individuals: On land has been commissioned by the Bridlington Millau Twinning Association, its French counterpart and “Le Parc Régional des Grands Causses” (the National Park) to document life on the Larzac plateau in France and forms part of a perminant collection in the Larzac region.
