A SENIOR lecturer at Leeds Trinity University has had her work exhibited at Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire as part of the 2021 SelfScapes project. Dr Liza Dracup was selected to join the SelfScapes research cluster, and to subsequently exhibit her work alongside a range of academics, photographers, sculptors and graphic designers. The project, run in collaboration with Forestry England and Arts Council England, aims to explore the relationship between the self and its environment and to investigate both the body and place as sites for interconnected experiences. SelfScapes was established in 2018 by academics at York St John University. The exhibition was renewed in 2021, following the success of the inaugural event, and is displayed out in the fresh air in the boundaries of the forest itself.
