Moor and Dale
Millennium Images presents: Moor and Dale by Tessa Bunney

Since graduating from West Surrey College of Art and Design in 1988, Tessa Bunney has developed her photographic work pursuing her interest in different landscapes and the way they are shaped by human activity. Working closely with both communities and individuals, she often incorporates text and sound into her work. She has recently completed an M.A. in Photography at De Montfort University, Leicester.

Bunney regularly undertakes portraits and feature photography for a wide range of magazines as well as commissions and residencies nationally and internationally. With support from The European Cultural Foundation and Arts Council England, she is currently working on a project about transhumance and rural life in Romania which will be exhibited at Impressions Gallery, York in 2006.

Her touring exhibition and publication Moor and Dale, a commission from Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to investigate and record the relationship between the landscape, wildlife and people of an area of grouse moorland was part of the Hereford Photography Festival, 2004. Previous projects include Lamb (2000), a documentation of the life of hill farmers on the North York Moors and Eat Better, Eat British (1999), a series of environmental portraits of farmers and small food producers which was awarded an Honourable Mention in Leica’s Oskar Barnack Award and was projected at the Arles Photography Festival, France in 2000.

Tessa Bunney’s work draws attention to observing details which we usually let slip by unnoticed and aims to contribute to the ongoing debate about the changing nature of rural life in Europe.
