I was born Monday 1st August 1977 and I'm, essentially, a painter. Sometimes I use a knife instead of a brush; a controlled act of violence. A painting can be more than the image on, or what is cut out of, a canvas. It can be the object as a whole; frame, title (essential), or empty space in the canvas. The "happy accidents" in the...

Like a child creates fantasy worlds through play, I create fictitious worlds that retain certain truths about our reality. I use maps, which are visual representations of our world; I cut out fragments and reconfigure the pieces as if assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Resultant work is a newly mapped out reality that comments on aspects of our world....

Light is an important element in my practice as it gives life and energy to my work. My fascination with the ethereal quality of light and how it can be used as a tangible material began with my observation of sunlight's interaction in the natural world. Through light and plastic interplay, I explore the boundaries between art, science and nature...

Adaption, mimicry and mirroring.  In my work I am interested in exploring ideas about integration and belonging, whether it is by observing society through cultural identity and childhood, or in a more general and ambiguous way. Society is defined by the cultural restraints decreeing what is either acceptable, or objectionable. Adaption,...

Concepts/themes/ideasMy work is concerned with time and memory, renewal and decay, fragility and strength, absence and displacement.

As an artist I am fascinated by concepts of community and identity and how these are expressed in the public realm in terms of marking territory, claiming ownership and passing on stories. I would therefore define my self as a narrator and recorder of events, often everyday things that we take for granted but that can define our culture, heritage,...

I try to build a dialogue between the illusionistic spaces of perspective and composition inherent within painting, and the experience of navigating real space around my objects. Although the objects rarely reference things in the world openly, I do want them to relate to architectural spaces and therefore also the functions of these places. This...

I have a genuine and buoyant practice that grows through the process of making. Themes in my work include architecture, construction, playgrounds, shape, colour and scale, valuing form over function.Within my sculptural installations, the concept is of space and how I use space to organise my materials and create scenarios. I intend to explore...

Reading is an act of co-authorship. When you pick up a book and read it, what you bring to that process is your own personal history. This is a filter through which we perceive language and by which we forge connections. My use of the book as sculptural object playfully reworks its formal components allowing the 'reader' to experience...

My practice as a fine artist is in creating images with materials, mostly sculptural, with an interest in expressing an archetypal way of seeing the world. Myth has been an important reference throughout my work as they contain layers and patterns of meaning (archai) which underlie the culture of societies throughout the world, as much now as...

'Dale Devereux Barker makes art out of all sorts of things, out of pictures, out of works, out of humour, out of frustration, out of sex, out of sitting on the beach. Since graduating from the Slade in 1986 he has developed a pictorial language which is distinctive in its combination of figurative imagery and complex layering of more abstract...

My current work questions the nature of things, images and experiences; the significance, the meaning, connotations and expectations.  Generally the focus is on the everyday and how we might or might not expect to find things.  There is usually a sense of uncertainty or discontinuity in the work allowing the viewer to interpret in their...

Working across a diverse range of media including drawing, photography and installation my work explores ideas of the sacred and mystical in the everyday. I engage in a process of recombining familiar signifiers to conjure a sense of the numinous and powerful potential of the commonplace. I try to create a world that is haunting, humorous and sexy...

My paintings inhabit the border between abstraction and figuration and have their basis in exploration through seeing and engagement with the tactility of the process. I draw on a wide range of sources from the most obvious classical themes in painting to the subtlety of philosophical and mystical thought. In making paintings I am absorbed in the...

The body and its relationship to the space that surrounds it inspire my sculpture. Absence and Presence are recurrent themes within my work as these sculptures are the physical depiction of the negative space around the figure. I have recently used resin to make sculptures of stiletto shoes that include an impression of the wearer's feet....

I then went on to study Glass at the Royal College of Art, where I worked on architectural scale projects dealing with issues of light and space. Glass is a material which allows me to exploit the aesthetic...

At the core of my interest is the enjoyment of disparity, discontiguity and the occasional brief failure of Gestalt mechanisms, and the quest to represent this in some way. I investigate ways of seeing, specifically with reference to cultural and paradigm disjunction, and embody these disparities in my working practice. I work with video and in...

Concepts My work is cross disciplinary, the means and materials determined by the primary idea.Much of my work has come out of research into a family genealogy, in particular the way women are represented in the text of written histories. History as a form of sorting and collecting carries with it issues of differences and exclusion.  The...

I refer to certain concepts, arrange them in appropriate combinations. There is some convergence of mathematics which is an abstract science. My art works also are largely abstraction too, insitute and arrange for myself a structure, I use the aesthetics of the place and object but I use them in a limited way – transposes, trying to define...
