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...

I am an interdisciplinary maker working predominantly with performance, sculpture, installation and print. 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...

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 consider myself to be a collagist, and in the simplest terms all of my work can be seen as an extension of collage. I am fascinated by the act of reconstructing things that already exist, in three as well as two dimensions. I am intrigued by simple single units that can be reproduced. this reproduction is sometimes cellular-like, where elements...

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...

Jefferies maintains a diverse practice that incorporates model making techniques, photography and sculpture. Current work centres on the architectural model and the production of fictional archives. One aspect of his work involves the dichotomy between the photographic image and the actual events and inherited memories that accompany them. This...

Concepts Much of my work is a response to my involvement with, and interest in, the sea. I explore notions of immersion and peoples' interpretations of the marine environment and also romantic associations with collecting and discovery. I am interested, in particular, in the sea as an agent of loss, breaking down and consuming many objects lost...

My creative practice has changed dramatically over the last few years; a metamorphosis of using traditional methods, such as stitch and enamel, to my latest works that use a more analytical approach via sculptural interpretation, installation, photography, film, collecting and recording data. I am currently interested in using an interplay of...

My work is primarily about the vulnerability of the human state and ideas of protection, confinement and escape. I create ambiguous spaces and escape routes that function between reality and fiction, some imaginary and some physical. I investigate lonely, quiet spaces exploring the fantasy of experiencing a respite from the constant pace of life....

Perhaps the overriding concern is with exploring the relationship between nature and culture through the concepts of 'the wild', 'the domestic' and 'the pastoral'. I like art to be ambiguous, odd, difficult to understand, but I often feel that it is too easy to be 'weird'. I want something that expresses an individual's own particular...
