The process involves the application of multiple (up to 40 or more) thin glazes of acrylic paint and gloss medium. Each layer is dragged, pulled or manipulated with various implements – the process being...

ConceptsThe patterns, rhythms, forms and colours of nature in a microscopic and macroscopic sense have always inspired me. Peripheral vision, a momentary glance at things overlooked or discarded will often spark an idea - something from nothing. In a chemistry of vision, memory and observation, the imagery becomes a sort of visual poem, a...

Concepts The life sized bronze figure of a dancer was one of my early works. Diana was 70-years-old at the time she modelled for me, and the work was imbued with her dignity and my respect for her. The same sentiments are echoed in one of my most recent works 'Remembering the Grace I Never Knew', in which I have taken discarded...

Recognition begins the instant we encounter any form of representation, our cognitive memory grasps onto certain aspects and we begin to interpret what we see. My current work is an investigation into this process of perception, how we forge mental links in order to understand. I am interested in the metaphor of language as a structure, one...

My work is engaging with notions of travel and/or displacement. I am working with diegetic approaches to image, performance, text and sound. Central to my practice is the desire to ‘dig-up’ information, re-contextualise it and present it in engaging ways. The focus here is on the complex relations between mobility and identity...

I explore an interweaving of reality and fiction similar to what is constructed during the recollection of dreams and distant memories. My paintings have an anecdotal quality but an incomplete narrative. They are often based in reality but become skewed towards abstraction and confusion.

The unpredictability of communication in the...

Artist statement I have a deep attachment to the island on which I live, which has informed my work during the development of identifying my relationship between self and place. This attachment was created by spending time alone outside immersing myself in the landscape, really observing and recording what I see, hear, feel, smell and touch as...

Katri's work investigates and celebrates the fertile space between contemporary art, portraiture and documentary filmmaking. Subject matters vary widely but the common thread throughout is always the desire to explore new modes of reflection in a world in which reality is never a static given, but a complex set of relations. Through video...

Aeneas Wilder's work is principally that of an iconoclast. The questions that are raised through his creative practice focus on the validity or otherwise of cultural production and the validity or otherwise of national and personal identity. In questioning these systems a broader critique of society comes to light, that of controlled activity,...

My videos mimic television genres such as documentaries, reality shows and...

The structure of my work is based mostly from industry and architecture, however, the meaning comes from issues surrounding us: social, religious, political and environmental. My work has often been compared to that of Heath Robinson as it has an element of the mad inventor's quality to it. I feel that juxtaposing a natural or recognisable element...

My work deals with the subject of value by considering the system of values that we bestow upon familiar objects and possessions. I am interested in how the perception of an object is altered by its material, situation, or scale, and by making ironic and playful changes to these properties I encourage the viewer to question the value of the...
