STUDIO
A studio shaped by experimentation, collaboration and hands-on process.
The studio is where ideas are developed in real time. Projection, light, sound and emerging media are used to explore how spaces can be experienced differently.
It is a place for making, not just planning. Play and iteration drive the work forward.
In Practice
Urban Projections is based at the Harley Foundation Studios, a community of artists and makers on the Welbeck Estate, with a long-standing focus on material-led practice and production. The studio is not open to the public, but visits, conversations, and collaborative opportunities are welcomed by appointment, often forming part of ongoing project development.
Alongside project work, Rebecca offers one-to-one mentoring and small group sessions for artists and creatives working with digital and immersive media. These are practical and tailored, supporting the development of ideas, approaches, and confidence with new tools, and are often connected to wider strands of her work.
Context and Connection
The studio is based on the Welbeck Estate, set between Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. It sits between rural landscape and post-industrial mining towns, including those where Rebecca grew up. That position - geographically and culturally - underpins the work. The idea of ‘inbetween-ness’ runs through the practice, shaping projects that move across locations, materials, and ways of seeing.
Within this context, the space is set up for practical experimentation - from early-stage testing through to developing finished work. This includes building projection studies, testing spatial compositions, and working across moving image, sound, and interactive elements.
It is an active environment where ideas are pushed, refined, and shared. Play is built into the process, allowing unexpected directions and new approaches to emerge.
Many of these processes feed directly into public artworks, installations, and commissioned projects, developed for a wide range of contexts.
