Navigating the use and misuse of traditional photographic and printmaking techniques, Holliss' practice explores the cyclical tides of the female reproductive body, in relation to elemental bodies of water in the natural landscape.

Pleione is a meditation on our amniotic origins; this work explores concepts around the sonographic charting of the sea, whilst also delving into the oceanic landscapes within the reproductive body.
