Following an artist research trip to Chernobyl in 2016, I created a number of artworks in response to my experiences.

The 26:86 Collective staged a guerrilla exhibition at the ‘Palace of Culture’ in the abandoned city of Pripyat. The exhibition includes images of mixed media, photography, photomontage and collage.

​

This period of making and showing formed the foundations of a long-standing artist collaboration and subsequent trips to Slavutych, Ukraine to collaborate with visitors and local residents within the 'satellite  city'. This includes the work created during the Chernobyling Festival 'The Chernobyl Library' - a library of Cyanotype artist books, which resides in Slavutych Library, Ukraine.
