‘My Body is a Sundial’ by Bryony Ella, commissioned by the University of Liverpool 2025. Transparent substrate painting inspiration & interesting sight-lines through substrates as referenced within application. Lighting by Rachel Sampley, R&D collaborator.

Detail from: ‘My Body is a Sundial’ by Bryony Ella, commissioned by the University of Liverpool 2025. Example of multiple painted layers held within one 2D panel, referencing different data points, lost in the layers but which could be extrapolated to be viewed stand alone, yet visible in relation to each other as a whole - depending on structural design.

Detail from: ‘My Body is a Sundial’ by Bryony Ella, commissioned by the University of Liverpool 2025. Shadow inspiration as referenced within application, to be experimented with lighting designer.

Trailer for ‘Stand of the Sun’ featuring spoken word by Bryony Ella, commissioned by the University of Liverpool 2025. Example of audio to be tested within the prototype. Inspiration for how to more powerfully ‘activate’ Embodied Ecology presentations, using multimedia to create immersive experiences.

Silks, 2022: A previous collaboration with Butterfly Conservation in which I experimented with paintings transferred onto silk, suspended to create spaces for performance. The layers, hanging mechanisms and lighting effects here will inform substrate selection and tests within the R&D project.
