My art practice focusses on aspects of both landscape and text, consisting of photographs, moving image, installations, drawings, performance and painting. Working reflexively across different mediums has enabled a visual language to develop that articulates what otherwise may remain remains unseen and unheard. My motivation is to exceed the...

Brenda Miller’s practice draws on aspects of everyday life for its focus. Day-to-day existence is precious and society ought to celebrate and value it. Memories and nostalgia form a kind of romanticism for place and space, which is integral to the work. Being able to look at the sea and horizon every day as a child has evolved into a...

My work is a constant enquiry, an incomplete sentence, a phrase articulated through materiality, object and space. It is quiet work, a vocabulary of cast offs, objects, liquids and processes, at times unstable, prone to decay, but familiar to us all. With influences ranging from Eva Hesse's organic minimalism to Watteau’s scenes of...

My work is predominantly installation based and relates to my interest in our relationship with places. Often the work itself is intended to have a direct dialogue with the particular space in which it is presented. I use processes of replication and displacement, often combining and relating three-dimensional pieces to time based imagery and...

Artist Statement My work has a continuing preoccupation with museums, collecting, fragility and transience. Inspired by family history, personal memorabilia often become incorporated into the forms and structures I create.

I am interested in illusion, artifice and the manipulation of reality and perception primarily where recent history, memory and power collide. My work is process based, often taking the form of sculptural assemblages or installations that can easily be re-arranged and re-used to explore differing perspectives, while questioning how we ascribe...

Martyn Cross presents us with a disturbing and weird world, one where joy and innocence appear infected with dark thoughts and actions. Often using the covers of found knitting patterns as his canvas, brightly coloured images of happiness and comfort are disfigured and despoiled so that their subjects find their newly knitted garments covered in...

My work is an ongoing investigation into ways in which one can represent visually an aspect of a psychological condition, such as anxiety, melancholia, mourning, or the vanishing of the self as a form of loss or absence. Recent work explores fairy tales as a symbolic dimension for the depiction of distressing states of mind and, in this context,...

I wander at the edges, a flaneuse, observing, seizing fragments by drawing swiftly or using a video camera, and I express my ideas in a personal way employing a diaristic confessional mode that communicates clearly to reach the power of universal meaning, and to engage a wide audience. Educated in the sixties; empowered by feminism and by...

Concepts, ideas, themes The background to my work is an interest in the relationship between beliefs and science, rationality/irrationality, the juxtaposition of order/non-disorder. We each have to negotiate our own sense of being created by categories (structure) and a fragmented world of endless networks and gaps. In my current work it is...

Using a variety of props and materials I devise ‘scenes’ to examine my relationship to certain objects, texts and spaces.  Exploring specific locations, libraries and archives I then enact/present my findings playing...

My work is tied to specific places I encounter that I feel have a detectable visual or contextual resonance. The paintings, photos and short film pieces I produce aim to create different readings and responses to these sites. It is important to me that the sites are public places; often quite ordinary (but sometimes iconic); that have shared...

My work has always been about my concern with 'being in the world'; 'being' as a human, 'being' as a transient occupant in time, space and condition.   Work begins with the intention to explore and to incorporate possibilities.  The outcome is open-ended to allow room for interpretations.  Sometimes failures play a crucial part in...

I am a mixed media sculptor/installation artist and also work with photography. I enjoy working site specifically and in the environment and photography helps me to do this while still presenting work in a gallery context - more recently this has become the main focus of my practice. My work focuses on the everyday and the mundane but put...

Combining the mass produced and the unique is, for me, humorous and ironical and full of suggestion and contradiction. I am interested in the process of reproduction (printmaking, laser cutting, high tech and lo-tech) and also by the theme of reproduction (with reference to the ethical debate surrounding biotechnology, genetics, sex and...

I am fat, I am a woman and I make art about it. Instigated by my life's personal and resonating experiences my autobiographical interdisciplinary work retain universal themes such as the housing and death work completed in 2010-2012. Most recently my current ongoing work on the fat female body developed as in August 2012 when I was due to...

Concepts My work is largely concerned with form and the development of 3-D spaces which challenge the senses, including memory and emotion. My work divides into two strands - 1) landscape architecture, site-specific, land art; 2) domestic scale sculpture in stone and willow. In my designs of outdoor spaces/public art I am keen to celebrate...

Tim Shaw is one of the great storytellers of British art.  No one takes on the contradictions of representation through making in a post-industrial age in quite the way he does. Shaw ploughs a wilfully solitary, contradictory furrow.  Schooled in heavy metal casting, part of the British tradition of monumental sculpture going back...

I draw on new and traditional film and video production methods to reflect on the potential and limitations of the medium. Recent works expand beyond the screen;...

Accepting the camera as an apperatus of capture, I attempt to push the boundaries of what the viewer knows is illusory yet accepts as real. My subject continues to be traces left by people in redundant spaces. The places I photograph are empty and are photographed as seen, not altered. I am not looking to document or comment, more to examine....

Concepts I work with ideas to focus and make visible. I aim to encourage the role of the viewer as participant/performer and acknowledge that without this engagement the artwork is essentially obscure. I am concerned with how a view of the world is interpreted and informed and accessed through language. I am inspired by poetry. My work frequently...
