Stuart Haden

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...

Michele Whiting

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...

Geraint Evans

Evans' practice deals with themes such as the sublime within catastrophe, social deprivation and social aesthetic. He features sub groups of society that live and survive on the fringes in contrast to the clean, ordered and consumerist utopia. Displaying people's urban survival strategies, Evans prompts the viewer to re-evaluate their own place,...

Susan Francis

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...

Kathy Dalwood

My sculpture, both on a large and small-scale, centres around the process of casting applied through the media of plaster, concrete and ceramic. Exploiting the convolutions of the process and the interplay between positive and negative, I’ve worked with reversals of original imagery, creating negative indentations on the sculpture’s surface. ...

Viyki Turnbull

My work is a mixture of works on paper and site specific installations. I use drawing, printmaking, collage, assemblage and textiles to create largely figurative works that depict everyday objects and places. I like that objects can describe a place, a time, a person or community through the way that they have been used or left. I draw attention...

Janet Sang

In my work I construct allegorical settings in order to explore, comment upon and sometimes confront injustice and violence. Although my work has serious intent, I poke fun at myself and use humour, pathos and the unexpected to engage my audience. I have used a range of media, and shown installations, drawings and work in new media. I have...

Rebecca Strain

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...

Cherry Pickles

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,...

Victoria Malcolm

Concepts I am interested in how images speak, in the nuances of visual language and translation from one medium to another. I work figuratively as a route to narrative discursive painting based on photographs, both personal archive and found imagery. I assemble collections of selected images which offer connections both familiar and...

Zanne Andrea

I am interested in illusion, artifice and the manipulation of reality and perception primarily where recent history, memory and power collide. My work is process based, often taking the form of sculptural assemblages or installations that can easily be re-arranged and re-used to explore differing perspectives, while questioning how we ascribe...

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...

Martyn Cross

Martyn Cross presents us with a disturbing and weird world, one where joy and innocence appear infected with dark thoughts and actions. Often using the covers of found knitting patterns as his canvas, brightly coloured images of happiness and comfort are disfigured and despoiled so that their subjects find their newly knitted garments covered in...

Diana Heeks

Motivated by a basic urge to play and create, Diana’s painting is intuitive and visceral, although consideration and planning are part of it too. Other recent work has been driven by an attraction to materials, and their colour and texture. Often inspired by fabrics and having a background in tile-making, her work feels very akin to...

Melanie Russell

Concepts Through painting, drawing, collage and cardboard constructions my current work develops an ongoing interest in visual perception where foregrounds and backgrounds hold an ambiguous relationship to create certain levels of flatness. I question what is negative space when it is given priority? Does it still remain negative when it is the...

Samantha Donnelly

The main interest of my studio based practice is a questioning of how information and images are structured, performed, remembered and retold for us and by us through representations, and the effect this has on our interior and exterior experiences.  The images and information I...

Rebecca Beinart

My projects explore the territories between art, ecology and politics and take the form of live events, installations and interventions in public places. Through repeated experiments and actions in specific places, I seek to interrupt my assumptions and understand perspectives I could not see alone. I craft particular objects which open up a...

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 Gorrill

"The drawings for her degree show, which reverse the female submissiveness advocated by a religious pamphlet posted through her door, put women in a dominant position while the men are bent and bound in sexual submission. The male figures have been censored, but to protect whom? The spam I receive contains more indecency than Ms Gorrill's...

Rebecca Chesney

Emma Johnson

Emma Johnson explores the fragmented, multifaceted nature of memory, time and history. Johnson reconstructs maps into artworks, cutting paths and layers to transform the originals into reconstituted and complex new objects. As functional items, they are rendered virtually unreadable, but symbolically they suggest journeys (both geographical and...

Carla Wright

My work focuses on our built and social environment - planned societies and governed life, and the processes of urban planning driven by political and economic demands, whilst paying little regard to our needs and aspirations.
