A group of people are dancing in Luton henge, one has his back to use and the others are facing us. They've all got down low into a crouch with one hand behind them on the floor and the other across their forehead. The dancing might be Bollywood dancing. They are all enjoying themselves and we can see one of the Luton Henge standing stones in the background towards the top left of the picture. There are trees in the background.

Connected nature, people and organisations

From the Are You Lost? installation in Dunsop Bridge in August. A piece of fabric hangs in the foreground, it has markings in green, grey and orangey brown. Further away, two screens are showing blurred images. The one on the left has a small white blob top left, a patchy bright green in the middle that feels like an entrance and blue on the right hand side. The right hand screen has a dark brown background with a bright yellow and orange circle in the middle. If we could hear the installation too, we would be able to hear people talking about their experiences of the Forest of Bowland.

A young man sits on a log. He has locks and is looking to the left of the photo. He looks thoughtful. Behind him are trees and a stormy blue sky.
