Eleanor Cunningham (b. 1988) (she/her) is a fine artist combining photography with alternative processes such as painting and embellishment with found materials. She holds BA Fine Art at Loughborough University, then obtained MA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art & Design (2012). Through her processes she creates dreamscapes, depicting morphed realities of tangible material form and perception. She physically alters digital representations of carefully chosen places that hold historical value or a reference to the natural world, such as gardens and monuments that may be in danger of becoming forgotten or left behind. She explores how such scenes sit in an ever-changing climate by almost dissolving the image beyond recognition. This proposes an urgency to preserve these landmarks and hold on to their histories
