My work uses cardboard, tin cans plastics and cardboard tubes usually destined for the waste bin. The fragile resemblances that I produce with their torn, folded and glued sections are crude, insubstantial, spray painted copies, three-dimensional jigsaws, connected and disconnected fragments of machines displayed as museum artefacts. They fit into...

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...

I address the gap between the world and our representations of it, often making use of machines and methods that promise precision and objectivity, but ultimately reveal the human presence. I have a particular interest in photography and its relationship to memory, and in using drawing to re-present movement. 'What we observe is not nature...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

My work is a response to the detail of my functional life; the familiarity and reassurance of repetitive tasks we all feel safe in and the impact of external and unpredictable factors on these. I have an interest in harming behaviours and the wear and tear of living on ourselves and our environment.Themes of 'wearing out' and 'holding...

Concepts My main area of exploration, via photography, concerns the correlation between internal states and the visible world. Tactile methods of production, beyond straight, chemically produced images or digital prints, are of particular interest. Recent work, concerned with memory and expressive dance, uses video and the sequencing of stills. ...

I make relief monoprints on handmade Japanese papers. Each each print is unique. I rarely make editions. I have a painterly approach to print - the colour is layered on the paper by means of lino or wood printing wet ink on wet. This gives the work its distinctly marked surface quality. The type and quality of the paper is an essential ingredient...

In 2005 at the age of 60 I made the decision to study, part time for a B A (Hons) Fine Art  degree. It was something I'd always wanted to do and somehow avoided for numerous reasons. I didn't think I was 'good enough' if truth be known. I married early and had 5 daughters, then spent 30 years in various arts and voluntary sector jobs. My...

As a printmaker I am interested in process. I make pictures from figures found in newspapers and magazines. I process the figures, editing, simplifying, re-drawing and transferring them to new environments, landscapes, urban spaces or interiors. I like the way this process can change the nature of things translating one perception into another. I...

My works have a simplicity to them, transforming the gallery with an economy of means. Many of them act almost as a backdrop to other activity in an exhibition space – subverting and affecting the way the space is viewed and used. Through displacing aspects of architecture, multiple associations and ambiguous situations are created. This...

The work is stylised but recognisable and often there is a story. I draw a lot on humour and cross-culture. Recurring themes are : crowds, the catering industry,...
