About the Artist
Casey Orr is an award winning photographer and artist. They use their camera to explore questions they have about, among other things, the lives of women, the interconnectedness of all living things, our relationship to nature and notions of home and belonging. This questioning has taken them across the North Atlantic Ocean by containership, throughout the USA, UK and Europe photographing anarchists, behind the walls of HMP Leeds Prison, and into the lives of the many people she collaborates with through portraiture.
