A Chilly Glimpse of Winter, by Ann Mackey. A close up shot of a pink flower with water droplets.

Ann is a photographer and takes photographs of flowers and nature. She recently did small groups of photographs, such as Varied Variegation, A Chilly Glimpse of Winter and Just in Time.

A Chilly Glimpse of Winter is one set that links with the project. This is because we took close-up shots of water droplets on leaves and flowers, just like her photograph above. That group of photographs was taken last week, when winter began, and there was frost everywhere on plants, flowers, and even on roofs. Due to the light in the early morning and the flower being frozen, the flower appears magenta in the photograph above (Ann, 2025).

The area of the project that links with her work is Ancoats. This is because, for our Ancoats zine, we are focusing on more greenery plants and flowers that are found and how they have grown in sparse areas of the AI site, taking a different approach to looking at it.

I really like her work because the photographs are detailed, the colours are bright, and her work applies well with the Ancoats zine.

This is what the lock looks like when it is in mesh

This is a screenshot scan of a lock that I found on the handrailings at the Ai Site. For this image, I used the 3D Scan Feature on Polycam, which allows me to see what the object looks like in 3D.

This was recorded towards the front of the site, next to the road.

I was thinking maybe for the AI site we could focus on the contrast of the nature in the area vs the industrial feel of the site

or focus on the barriers/ways they are keeping people out

I am planning on experimenting with this photograph in particular with the embroidery idea. I have recording the noise from this location and will embroider the sound waves in the gap. If this is something that we, as a group, decide we want I will go back and recreate this shot as I am not happy with it being slightly out of focus.
