Sweet Fanny Adams in Hyperspace Eden

Simon Warner acted as facilities manager for Whitestone Arts during the Sweet Fanny Adams shoot.

Simon is a photographer and “lens based artist” working in Yorkshire:

My current work is inspired by photographic history and by landscape. In the past few years I have made short films and photographs on both themes. The award of a NESTA research Fellowship is enabling me to develop a new strand of work as a performer/lecturer. I am involved in school education with Creative Partnerships, and as a workshop leader in galleries and museums.
