About Ackroyd and Harvey

Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey are internationally acclaimed artists, creating works that intersect art, activism, architecture, biology, ecology and history. Referencing memory and time, nature and culture, urban political ecologies, the climate emergency and degradation of the living planet, their time-based practice reveals an intrinsic bias towards process and event. Processes of germination, growth and decay (organic and inorganic) feature in artworks that often evolve through extended research in response to people and place, interfacing their profound interest in local ecologies and global planetary concerns.

Heather and Dan have a studio in Dorking and are very much embedded in our local community. They have been incredibly supportive of many local organisations including Circular Dorking
