These two works are part of the artists’ Protector Series, where activists protecting land from fossil fuel exploitation are captured in chlorophyll through a unique photographic process. Ackroyd & Harvey create artworks that reveal an intrinsic bias toward process and event, referencing memory and time, urban political ecologies, anthropogenic climate change, and biodiversity loss. Lottie, active in the campaign to stop oil drilling in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, was photographed on Leith Hill, Surrey, in 2016.
