LAYERS OF MEMORY

Produced in partnership with the Shugborough Hall Estate, NSCG (Newcastle Stafford Colleges Group), and the Global Data Directorate, Layers of Memory is a feature length documentary capturing the creative legacy and emotional resonance of Staffordshire mixed-media artist Julia Ellen Humphreys.

 

The production leverages GDD's information architecture and media pipeline to anchor the film's structured timeline, which spans from winter site-mapping through to spring post-production. GDD supported the field deployment by providing management infrastructure for the project's extensive archival assets, ensuring that video files, raw audio files, and digital scans of signature works like A Nod to Les, Take a Walk with Me, and her public mural were permanently and safely cataloged.

​

The GDD also provided support in arranging access to Shugborough Hall Estate, enabling the production to get access to off-limit areas such as the unfinnished 'Arcadia Gardens', and meetings with the Ranger staff to film animals close up.
