My process of painting continually evolves within different stages of concentration, one that is figuratively minded and one based on abstract formal decisions. I find that these types of mindset are activated by one anothers absence. It starts with the conscious decision of trying to do something back to front, an interest in figurative...

Although I have often used paint, since moving to France in 2002 I have increasingly focused on making installation, site-specific installation, constructed art work, photography and printmaking. I am influenced by abstraction but like to collect objects I have found or been given, searching out simple everyday materials which I seek to transform...

I am a recent graduate artist concerned with photography, particularly focusing on disrupting our relationship to the digital still photographic image.

My art practice has evolved over time; initial activity was in ceramics and this endeavour, which was primarily concerned with a dialogue about the form and nature of the vessel has, over the years, given way to work based primarily in video or in multi-media installations that employ projections, sound and a variety of other three dimensional...

Alex Dipple’s painted-over newspapers present the classical information mediumfree from its content as tender and vulnerable but mysteriously beautiful „skins.“ With a similarly sort of a „foreign view“, the artist examines newspapers and their formal structure. She discards lines, which are...

Concepts What you see depends on your visual intelligence and appetite. I search for new subjects and innovative ways of expressing these. How those subjects look within the frame interests me.

Concepts Lately my activity has involved selecting and processing fragmentary images from multiple sources, and most particularly those related to our engagement with the virtual world of the internet. Throughout previous work there has been a dominant theme of the layering of imaginary visions onto elements of perceived reality. However,...

Working in sculpture & installation, I manipulate seemingly mundane objects to reveal the strangeness of the everyday and the paradoxical language of the readymade. Within my work, an object is not encountered as a concrete 'thing' with a concrete meaning but as a nameless 'something' in a constant state of becoming. Through minimal...

Concepts I make prints and paintings responding to the local landscape. In a mostly arable landscape I necessarily engage with current farming techniques as well as the natural changes that occur. The work is intended to be a document as well as an expression. Colour has become increasingly important to me as an expression of mood and...

My sculpture, both on a large and small-scale, centres around the process of casting applied through the media of plaster, concrete and ceramic. Exploiting the convolutions of the process and the interplay between positive and negative, I’ve worked with reversals of original imagery, creating negative indentations on the sculpture’s surface. ...

The lure of the ‘false’ in painting forms the foundation of my work. Constructed landscapes and the psychology of fictional spaces make up the stage for an exploration of painting as a simulacra, not a representation. Ultimately, my paintings seek to picture something tangible, conjured up from our obsession with simulations and...

The main focus of my research at Central Saint Martins was of the soap bubble. In 17th Century Dutch Vanitas paintings, the bubble was used as a visual metaphor to remind the viewer of the transient nature of life. The soap bubble exists for just a couple of seconds, a perfect sphere, reflecting and refracting its surroundings beautifully. Due to...

I make images of space and structure. I seek to document the place in which I exist by indexing the personal, social and political. I can only work from the experienced. The contours of the 'man-made' negotiated daily within the high street and suburban dwelling form the structure of much of my work. My intention is not to illustrate environment...

Living in limbo between the angst of fine art and the therapy of making my work challenges both identity and preconception whilst at first glance appearing homely and domestic. I enjoy the 'out of place', the unexpected, the bizarre and I am an avid photographer who makes a constant visual record as an 'aide-mémoire' both at home and on my...

Through an examination of mundane moments in time I investigate how meaning and significance are attached to banal elements of the everyday. This can include subjects as diverse as: shopping malls, peeling paint, drains, or sand scattered on a footpath. By incorporating varying amounts of participation I compress, or extend, the interaction a...

I am absorbed with the way light changes and defines places, constantly transforming the same piece of land, wood or coastline. The changing quality of light and elements against the permanence and stillness of the landscape are central to my work; clouds across a hill, flashes of light through woods, shadows along a track. I use a range of...
