Stephen Bradley
Stephen Bradley is an inter-media and trans-disciplinary artist whose primary practice maps and traces our relationship to place through ambient sound recordings, landscape photography and documented stories juxtaposed with artifacts discarded or lost in the landscape. Bradley is currently artist-in-residence at the Chesapeake Arts Center’s newly established makerspace adjacent to this community and where he collaborates with stakeholders engaged with civic projects that strive to create and celebrate place.
