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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

Artist Statement My work has a continuing preoccupation with museums, collecting, fragility and transience. Inspired by family history, personal memorabilia often become incorporated into the forms and structures I create. Gloves are cast in plaster and printed with fragmented texts from different eras, resembling fragile relics. Old recipes...

Concepts As a landscape photographer based in Glastonbury I tend to look for subject matter that eschews traditional ideas around what constitutes a worthwhile landscape photograph. I am attracted to liminal zones that lie somewhere between notions of urban and rural or vernacular architecture that has a short shelf life before social or...

My work is an ongoing investigation into ways in which one can represent visually an aspect of a psychological condition, such as anxiety, melancholia, mourning, or the vanishing of the self as a form of loss or absence. Recent work explores fairy tales as a symbolic dimension for the depiction of distressing states of mind and, in this context,...

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, ideas, themes The background to my work is an interest in the relationship between beliefs and science, rationality/irrationality, the juxtaposition of order/non-disorder. We each have to negotiate our own sense of being created by categories (structure) and a fragmented world of endless networks and gaps. In my current work it is...

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...

My work is tied to specific places I encounter that I feel have a detectable visual or contextual resonance. The paintings, photos and short film pieces I produce aim to create different readings and responses to these sites. It is important to me that the sites are public places; often quite ordinary (but sometimes iconic); that have shared...

My work has always been about my concern with 'being in the world'; 'being' as a human, 'being' as a transient occupant in time, space and condition.   Work begins with the intention to explore and to incorporate possibilities.  The outcome is open-ended to allow room for interpretations.  Sometimes failures play a crucial part in...

For most of my creative life I have made films - engaging with ideas, beliefs, relationships, expression. But throughout I have felt the need to liberate the images I make from their subservient role, no longer demanding that they race through time, enslaved to the narrative. So now I increasingly work with stillness, implied movement, seeking...

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...

'The photographs of Andy Hughes are largely void of signifiers of location. Rather, they are largely sited on the strip of sand that lies between land and sea which, in Hughes' photography, looks similar whether around St Ives or in Santa Monica in California and therefore takes on something of a universal - or non - identity. Hughes graduated...

My photographs investigate the contemporary cultural landscape, offering a seductive and unsettling re-imaging of modern urban and rural environments. The treatment of light, colour and space help to establish a tension between a real and constructed landscape - a landscape in which the distinction between reality and imagination seems to...

Working in film, video, animation and installation I investigate the layering of content and meaning that occurs across the production, presentation and documentation of moving image. I draw on new and traditional film and video production methods to reflect on the potential and limitations of the medium. Recent works expand beyond the screen;...

Accepting the camera as an apperatus of capture, I attempt to push the boundaries of what the viewer knows is illusory yet accepts as real. My subject continues to be traces left by people in redundant spaces. The places I photograph are empty and are photographed as seen, not altered. I am not looking to document or comment, more to examine....

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...

I am an artist, illustrator and educator from the UK, currently working from Bangalore. My work is concerned with unfilled and unfulfilled spaces. I attempt to bring together the oddly discomforting, the fanciful, the virtual and the cartoon-like, the abstract and the frame, the playful and the orderly, the obvious and the subtle, all mirrored...

My work investigates the ability of light to reveal and conceal objects and spaces, and is particularly influenced by Freud’s notions of the uncanny and Proust’s narrative of the transitional.
