Working in sculpture & installation, I manipulate seemingly mundane objects to reveal the strangeness of the everyday and the paradoxical language of the readymade. Within my work, an object is not encountered as a concrete 'thing' with a concrete meaning but as a nameless 'something' in a constant state of becoming. Through minimal...

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. ...

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 am interested in the way we see and categorise objects, in the lives of objects and in unsealing their form, and so reformulating it. The work has a seesawing quality to it as the formal relational concerns are countered by the often quotidian materials and through the process of experimentation. I am drawn to objects and colours that have...

The fragile resemblances that I produce with their torn, folded and glued sections are crude, insubstantial, spray painted copies, three-dimensional jigsaws, connected and disconnected fragments of machines displayed as museum artefacts. They fit into...

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,...

My practice is about exploring these ideas, and probing for the ingredients which caused them to become rooted in my imagination. My practice is defined by experimentation, and I am more interested in...

High visibility, reflective colour and fluorescence are some of the phenomena that work their way into my practice.

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.

Following a period working in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s conservation department, I moved across the road to the Science Museum where I was given access to their stores. It was here where the roots of my work began.  Disparate objects placed next to each other by size and material gave rise to surprising and discordant marriages....

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.

With the creative process as a conveyor belt, the artwork...
