Adam Kalinowski

I'm making art for over 20 years by now. For the last 10 years I devoted mostly my work for a public realm. I work with different kind of materials, mostly steel but also I use balloons with gas, kinetic motion or projection. I don't perceive my work as a ritual; There is no absolute, or no another steady point in art. The art is partly an elusive...

Alix Poscharsky

With a background in science, the tension between those two sides of me (the artistic and the scientific) triggered most of my art work in recent years. Initially, I was making art on art (exploring questions like What is art? and How does art world work?). More recently, I explored the discrepancies between great scientific ideas and our everyday...

Matt Gee

Matt Gee's work involves covering, melting, placing, arranging, of spaces and objects as some of the processes involved in the fabrication of my work.There is a concern with the authenticity of materiality, the source of materials, jostling with the modern materialistic demands of human sensory decadent desire, a society that expects, an...

Robyn Woolston

My work explores the co-dependent relationship between consumption and power, identity and autonomy, and the documentation and harvesting of processes within the socio-psycho geography of our collective experience.From banking debt to branding, multinational control to the chemicals contained within the air we breathe. We consume to cement the...

Linda Arkley

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...

Veronique Maria

"I am exploring 'process' as a response to existential tension, and 'material' as a route to presence. I am interested in finding ways to manage and enjoy the life and death tension of our existence." (Veronique Maria 06-2011)

Stephen Livingstone

Concepts My work is 'about' rather than 'of' landscape. I prefer to get involved with a landscape and aim to say something about its past and present. I am especially interested in the impact that mankind has had on the land through industrial, agricultural, ritual and military use and increasingly with ecological issues. I was commissioned...

Helen Snell

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...

Harriet Hill

Harriet works responsively to produce sculpture and site specific installations that play with and against the given space. Her practice is an exploration into the idea that we are drawn to that which is more powerful than ourselves and the resulting conflict between a desire for autonomy with the need to belong. This manifests in her work through...

Stephen Connell

A major concern within my practice is the maintaining of a dual narrative. As a visual practitioner, it remains that the audience find my work visually accessible in addition to conceptually stimulating. My work is always photographic based, and uses both traditional film and digital systems. Whilst developing a series of work, often the...

Caroline Sharp

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...

Mary Vivienne Husted

Concepts My central concerns are with image, memory, identity and landscape. I find that different conditions of light challenge habits of perception - where or what are things ? My work uses various illusionistic devices to portray this ambiguity of the nature and location of things, and to reflect their forms and qualities. I am also...

Nigel Bird

CONCEPTS Much of my work originates from Landscape and the natural environment; it is as much to do with the process of making as it is about what I see, hear, taste, smell, feel or touch. The nature of the stimulus informs the method of making.

Sue Purcell

Living in a rural area for most of my life, nature's forms and colours have always been the main influence on my work, though it is not always revealed in an obvious manner. Along side making abstract and representational works the actual process of making is very important to me, and therefore continuously drives me towards pushing the...

Bruce Allan

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...
