Artist search

Concepts What you see depends on your visual intelligence and appetite. I search for new subjects and innovative ways of expressing these. How those subjects look within the frame interests me. I always compose at the time of photographing and print the whole frame. I am interested in how "what I photograph" is transformed by...

My current practice examines how far I can scientifically generate genuine emotions by manipulating the senses through a work of art by fully immersing an audience in that work of art, employing all the senses in a single purpose.I make performance/video installations in specifically designed spaces. With a background in Theatre and Architecture,...

My practice draws inspiration from man, nature and our reconnection, and encompasses exploration, experimentation, heritage, sustainability and responses to surroundings and situations. Projects are diverse but the central theme remains. In 2008 I graduated MA Art as Environment from Manchester Metropolitan University and importantly my work...

My work examines the expression of emotional and bodily states. I understand expression as something transient and being formed through experience. In this way expression in my work is not intentional or a gesture - it is the result of material transformations, the interplay between process and medium. The artistic process itself, its impetus...

I attempt to combine my fascination with films and narrative paintings in the construction of single large-scale photographs and I am particularly interested in developing and establishing protagonists within these to create an enhanced view of the world. Through the realization of backstories and motivations I aim to make these personalities...

I am interested in the tragi-comic, and the way it is possible to present the audience with a proposition that can be viewed as light-hearted, or something more sinister, in order to prompt questions of spectatorship. Frequently, work manifests itself as performances that focus on repeated actions and utilise a theatrical register, in an attempt...

Moira Lovell is an art photographer working with staged documentary portraiture. Underpinning her practice is an investigation into the threshold between how we think we appear and how we are actually perceived by the camera. Lovell's exploration of this in-between space has lead her to work with a variety of communities such as school themed...

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...

Through this I create a...

My projects explore photography and ‘ways of seeing’ in two quite different ways; the first is working with ‘straight’ mainly un-manipulated photography. Here, my aim is to inform audiences of what was seen and recorded photographically (to convey a narrative within traditional documentary boundaries). I also apply...

With its origins in clothing and memory and a musical ballerina box kept since childhood, my work reveals a preoccupation with the hidden and the ephemeral in a personal dialogue between self and place. Rooted in the responses of visionary nature artists and also the writings of Bachelard and Karl Jung, my images are inspired by the...

Sculptural practice and thought allows a very real exploration of the physical world. All its aspects fascinate me. My work is fuelled by diverse sources and open patterns of thought. Current work explores extremes of visibility, experience, material nature, location and situation. Time’s relationship with matter is a recurrent interest...

Concepts Current content involves the selection and processing of fragmentary images from multiple sources, and most particularly addresses our engagement with the virtual world of the internet. Throughout previous work there has been a dominant theme of the layering of imaginary visions onto elements of perceived reality. However, the...

I'm interested in questioning the fixed identities of objects and materials so they defy usual definitions and expectations, or, as the artist Tom Friedman has said, 'Testing what matter is by allowing it not to be'.Central to my practice are ideas of displacement: is the location of material central to its definition so that if it is...

My dad was the ringmaster and I was fascinated by the show.As an adult I worked for the circus too, travelling in the UK and abroad, still fascinated by the feel of the place and the transformative element of this life where a...

I make work that is site responsive and participatory. I examine how our perceptions are shaped. Frequently I use smell as a medium, focusing closely on the relationship between smell and our associations with it. This has lead to investigations into how our histories and environments are constructed. An integral part of my work is engaging people...

We are an Art Brand initiated in 2009 by John Rogers (b.1990) acting as director. We enquire into the perceptions of value in the material world. Objects are purged but venerated as the boundary between object and abstract is blurred. Objects become all the more loaded in their emptiness. With the creative process as a conveyor belt, the artwork...

'I’m interested in self perpetuity and relentlessness; the broken record with a repetitive sensibility. It’s a selfish indulgence to crack the ‘same old joke’ that was perhaps never really funny in the first place. I find it gratifying to blur the border between humour and sincerity, and to recycle a pun doggedly; devoid of...

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...

Interventions in the institutionalised everyday. By investigating educational, corporate and public settings, I critically engage withissues rooted in the institutional context. I keep looking beyond the veneer of how we manouver to expose and reference behaviour, routines and decision making. My practice reflects on mechanisms that underlie the...

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...

Combining original and appropriated imagery with a conceptual approach, Birkin's work reflects on the failure of images and the relationship between photography and loss. At its core is a concern for the intersection between the personal and the political, and limitations on visibility: absence, the ephemeral, and the ineffable. Through talks,...

Andrew Burton's most recent work explores bricks. Working in Britain, India and the Netherlands, he formed thousands of tiny bricks from clay and constructed these into various sculptures. Each sculpture would be painted or glazed, but then broken up and its constituent parts used to form the next. In this way the sculptures are continually...

Paper is a medium, a document a catalyst, a message, a creative act, it transforms for the better or worse, it travels, it is solid in a semi transparent world, it holds value, it proves, it also us to share information and ideas, it sorts us into groups of accepted and rejected, it covers up temporarily, it can be destroyed easily, it is...

My practice is a playful response to the constraints of society, institutions and authority. I create interventions, displacements and disruptions in a variety of media including performance. My work is frequently inspired by my love of language, is often discursive and usually collaborative. I enjoy the synergy of creating work with others.
