This page presents selected work from Nicola Zena Lumley's sustained independent practice responding to the natural environment, supporting her application to Arts Council England's Developing Your Creative Practice fund.
The short clips from three works represent a creative thread developing across more than a decade — audiovisual practice rooted in beauty, wonder and a deep relationship with the natural world. Each work was conceived, directed and produced entirely by Nicola, encompassing original composition and performance, field sound recording, sound synthesis, original filming, animation and musician direction, original character design and drawing, and all sound production, editing, mixing, mastering and film editing — developing a distinctive artistic language that seeks to make the unseen visible and the natural world extraordinary.
