Much of my work is research based and site-specific, and evolves through a participatory process, which has developed from several years working in youth arts and participatory development. I am interested in creating work in public...

I Make large groups of paintings inspired by historical images and contemporary film. Re assembling these paintings I can create new stories of mystery, romance and drama, the obsessive and the lustful.

Statement  I paint using  oil or egg tempera. I am interested in the way an image evolves from a combination of thoughts, ideas, memory, research, flights of fancy and the actual dynamics of the picture- making process. Much of my imagery is figurative and of seemingly ordinary yet surprising aspects of my everyday life...

I am interested in exploring where recent history, memory and power collide often considering the role that authenticity, illusion and perception might play within these overlaps. My work is process based, often taking the form of sculptural assemblages or installations where items are continuously arranged, layered and edited. Teetering on the...

I make images with paint, collage, drawing and camera. Work is from observation, directly from life, from drawings, from photographs, from screen images. Self-portraiture is central, partly because I'm simply the observable human figure in what I paint but also, through performance, it allows me to trespass into the worlds of other women and,...

My practice considers where our disenchanted, secularised world a sense of the religious fails to be suppressed, either through unacknowledged ideological attachments (a dogmatic sense of what is correct or true) or through the seductive, mesmerising appeal of contemporary art.  The work arises from a fascination with the rhetoric...

My practice focuses on an investigation into our visual system and the way we interact with visual information. This is primarily explored through drawing employing a wide range of approaches that are sometimes sculptural or time based outcomes. My drawing work doesn't seek to undermine the conventions of drawing but instead proposes a new...

My practice explores the notion of a dualistic distinction between the mental and physical realms as understood in spatial terms, and furthermore, my reading of spatial perception as being the active straddling of these two states as an experienced condition of connection, disconnection and flux.This interest stems from my personal experience of...

“It all seems like a planned conspiracy to keep the men mindful of their unempowered position within this theatrical world. And yet, the house recipe has to include enough “façade”, enough dreamtime so that the experience isn't completely alienating.”'Empathy, Alienation, The Ivar', Mike Kelley, Foul...

I have come to see my paintings as places of a dreamlike reality - a world where childhood and adolescence merge, forming a state of wonder, surprise and uncertainty; where the past blends with the future.As an artist I am a visual thinker and enjoy playing with imagery and imagination. Painting, as a medium, serves me as a very sensual tool. It...

Witness to culturally challenging environments in both India and Africa, I have been fortunate to encounter the most humbling and sublime encounters.

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 called archai which underlie the culture of societies throughout the world, as much...

Constantly questioning the authenticity of the image in the digital age, I build new layers into the process of representation. Working with, and re-photographing, found photographic images already containing an element of staged reality - such as fancy dress costume packaging, 3-D bookmarks, archived reality-TV set design and packaged scale...

I make watercolours, drawings and oil paintings. Over recent years they have been based on cities that I have lived in or visited. The base of all of my cities is probably derived from the view in fron of our house looking over Sheffield. Since 2000 I have kept experimenting with materials, homemade paints and media, recording the interaction and...

The majority of my practice is finding objects, whether in reality or on the internet 'virtual objects'. Then placing such objects together in a balanced, symmetrical, aesthetic equation. Using the colour and form of an object and trying to disregard its original intention. Physics is an important factor to me, using earth's natural...

The Quick and the Dead.....An Expression of the aliveness and intensity of living, loving, and dying..... Aliveness comes only in the present moment. Once any thing becomes manifest, it is part of History in which the living has died. It serves then, as documentation of a living moment in creation. It is this moment of creation which matters.....

I am a London based artist, specialising in Polaroid photography. My photographic practice is concerned with dialogues between objective and subjective experience, real life and memory. It pays particular notice to the idea of the image as an object in its own right. With my work, there can be no editing after the shutter is pressed- what I select...

Concepts Lately my activity has involved selecting and processing fragmentary images from multiple sources, and most particularly those related to 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,...

I try to make images that resonate with some earlier activity, that hold a sense of absence, that catch things at the margins. My prints are built up from drawings or photographic images, sometimes worked into. I have recently used etching, photoetch and photoscreen/silkscreen. I am seeking to use my printmaking as a way of registering daily...

'Every Contact leaves a trace'- Locard's Exchange Principle My practice exhibits parallels between criminal forensics and the creative process. These are areas where intuition and abduction are combined, with absence and presence often being of equal importance. The works produced from this co-optive encounter are pierced, punctured or...

Whether figurative or abstract, most of my work is about landscape, its space, structure and content. Daily walks in every season provide me with the imagery which feeds into my painting both consciously and subconsciously. Shapes, lines and marks may come from what is solid and permanent or slight and transient. My colours may be inspired or...

In my current body of work I have set out to address both the historical and present day view of our urban and coastal wastelands. In both the small collages and the large canvases there is a juxtaposition of all things jumbled and junked thus shaping the journey and putting one in mind of fleeting glimpses from a car or train window or...
