During her DCA Print Studio residency, Longhurst worked with the ashes of court documents she chose to burn. Mixing these ashes with screen printing medium, she overlaid abstracted images of bindweed onto photographs of the bonfire that destroyed the papers from an ableist legal case she had been subjected to. In transforming this material, Longhurst reclaims an experience that was both traumatic and constraining, turning it into a series of powerful and resonant prints.
