Discover one of the earliest photographic pro­cesses ever developed and capture shadows, inspired by artist Roger Ackling’s drawings with sunlight.

Using artist Florence Bennett’s ‘homemade’ analogue process, experiment with assembling your own collages to expose prints onto different materials.

The exhibition SUNLIGHT: Roger Ackling has just opened at Henry Moore Institute and is the first survey and most comprehensive exhibition of the work of artist Roger Ackling (1947–2014), one of the most quietly influential artists of the late twentieth century.

For fifty years Ackling consistently made objects by burning wood – focusing sunlight through the lens of a hand-held magnifying glass to scorch repeated patterns of lines on the surface.
