Rachel Airy

I am a multi media artist incorporating various techniques through photography and video. My work investigates film and image manipulation. Taking influences from the human form, surrealism and the silent movie era I create layered images in black and white film.

Dee Akhtar

My interest lies with mark-making and autonomous action; a series of marks and colours is an extension of the unconscious mind. The paintings are an exploration into the obsession with aesthetics and the painting’s ability to relate to the viewer.

Bridget Alexander

I am a conceptual artist and my work centres around exploring the effects isolated space has on human ‘essence’. I focus mainly on using photography and video to highlight the qualities of stillness and motion that relate to the situations I capture.

Sameena Azaam

My work focuses on architecturally, structured space and the distinguishable way in which it employs boundaries to create a controlled environment. Boundaries, borders, barriers, walls are all descriptive trajectories of the qualities of separation, division and isolation that are reinforced in such places.

Christiana Bell

Predominantly an abstract painter and photographer my recent practice has been dominated by exploring the boundaries of both mediums as I combine the two together. My work incorporates digital and film photography, various printing techniques and the exploration of paint.

Olivia Berggren

I tend to keep my practice as natural as I can, using earthy tones and natural elements. Experimenting with processes constantly, removing myself from the outcome, and being the catalyst, to allow the materials to show their possibility and potential.

Lisa Bradford

My practice comments on mass production in society today: the cheaply made products of everyday life result in a great deal of waste. Considering materials and objects I create scenarios where the object fails: leading to its own destruction, inevitably discarded.

Tank I am fuelled by a fascination of identity both personal and otherwise. Mediums range from photography to video, digital media, drawing and painting. My influences are taken from the culture of rock music and tattooing.

Cristina Ciccone

My practice is the documentation of my mother’s schizophrenia and the tragic yet beautiful experience of growing up in a working class environment. My main inspiration comes from childhood memory and the stigma towards mental health that remains within society.

Grace Erskine Crum

With my art, the audience response is the most important aspect. My aim is to make my viewer feel uncomfortable and intimidated. I have experimented with materials and colour, while figuring out what is most affective to achieve my aim.

Ethan Culican

Using classical styles and themes, my work illustrates a mythological story. Whilst considering the validity and believability of mythological stories, I am attempting to create work that manages to sit in an undetermined space in history.

Alice DeCourcy Wheeler

Becoming much more about the properties of paint and substance, my practice deals with scale and intricate detail, influencing our senses and imagination. It has a sculptural essence/sensuality within the paint – ultimately connecting the viewer with the work.

Annie Driver

My practice has derived from ideas of unborn human embryos/fetuses. This sensitive issue questions and sparks a reaction towards what happens to unborn life. Through exploration it has led me to create Christening fonts using a variety of materials.

Dan Eccles

My fine art practice involves using everyday or found objects to create artwork for me. I alter the role of each object so that instead of working how it should do, it works to create minimalistic drawings.

Christopher Frietag

Artist/Artisan/Craftsman/Sculptor –I believe materiality is critical to art. Material ought to support the work’s properties and lead the processes within which the work is developed. I explore the modern and historical aspects of cast metals with their close relationship.

Rosie Furnival

I am interested in the idea of bringing together history and personal experience into a portrait, by mapping and visualizing a diary of the individual. Working in mixed media, I wish to show an insight into who we are and why.

Alice Hodgson

I take inspiration from nature and natural colour palettes to inform my practice and materials. My work reminds us all of the fragile ecosystems in our environments, of the true beauty of nature and our deep connections with organic form.

Rachel Jones

I combine colour, light and material to create sensory space and images. Using three elements in my work, I identify the struggle between colour and form. I experiment with ways of working that will represent both colour and form as the primary.

Adam Jenkins

My work engages with ideas of showing urban movements and landscapes through drawing and sculpture. This manifests in work that is generated from specific concepts, processes or places through diverse media such as light, video, installation, sculpture and photography.

Joseph Lang

My work closely explores elements of human nature, life and culture. I am looking at the presence of the object within our society and questioning the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract.

Craig Shaun Malcolm

My work is based around issues between the animal world and our own. I like to consider my art as a visual investigation into these issues, driven by my own curiosity and interest. The medium of printmaking is central to this.

simon.mann@hotmail.co.uk

My practice has developed over the three years, from using mixed media and sticking to my comforts. As the years have progressed I have found myself exploring different materials and ideas, and as a result I went on to look at using blood.

Simon Mann

I am fascinated by faces, and my work explores portraiture in a way to depict the personality and emotion of the face behind the brush. Through drawing and painting I aim to capture the feelings in a unique way.

Emma Mort

My practice takes into consideration the delicacy of life and I aim to project this into my work. I am inspired by emotion and the human mind and try to interpret hidden aspects of life and subjects that are considered taboo. Look at the relationship between materials.

I’m interested in the greedy and wasteful way we buy things in the UK. Lately I’ve been constructing realities for my camera to explore the fiction of fulfillment via consumption.

Calum Paterson

By rejecting the idea of art as object and immersing oneself in an equilibrium creative process, an understanding of the true nature of things may be acquired. As repetitive actions converge, a matrix forms from which familiar things show themselves.

calumjpaterson@hotmail.co.uksaatchionline.com/cpaterson

Primarily a watercolour painter, my work focuses heavily on portraiture and the themes and motives within it. Literature also has a strong and influential role within my practice.

My work explores various notions of cartography using hand-cut paper techniques. I have a strong interest in the interpretation of maps, and the inherent relationships between places and people. Materiality is also important.

Sam Chtimi

My practice endeavors to create a transfer of energies and their base states through the handmade endurance of paper cutting. The purpose revolves around the interaction between the paper and the light, the result comments on the fluctuating existence of corporeal and immaterial communications.

Steven Potter

Claude Heath (2003, cited in Kingston 2003) states that his blind drawings help him to get rid of all the stuff that he thinks he wants and allows something else to happen. I’m interested in the possibilities of drawing, the imperfections and randomness of mark making.

My practice is heavily based around the idea of memories; the fragility of them and how easily they can be lost or abstracted over time. My aim is to reflect my version of memories taken from my family photo albums.

Tom Rowley

max.rushton@hotmail.co.uk

I reflect on my position within a community of young artists journeying to establish themselves. As I have limited experience to artistically be true to, the subject of the lack of ‘raw experience’ is currently explored in my transitional practice.

Maxwell Rushton

Challenging a range of subjects in the past, recent work has explored the complicated issues surrounding Parkinsons Disease. Often using dramatic light in my work, I explore issues faced by a person with Parkinsons, such as the ‘on-off phenomenon’.

Laura Smith

I am a mixed media artist who recreates significant memories from my childhood, introducing material, colour and pattern to produce a deeper childlike presence. My work explores family photographs that trigger memory, and looks into the importance of the connection between the artist and their work.

laurasmithikins@hotmail.co.uk

Distortion has always been an aspect in my work. I am interested in the way we interpret the world visually, and how each individuals experience differs. It is up to us how we interpret what we see. I explore this through image making.

Joe Taylor

The body is the common form that we all share but it may also be so alien with the thoughts it may provoke. Instead of fixing the identity I try to open to surface for perception and reflective thoughts.

Elizabeth Loren Trainer

My practise is concerned with creating art that has confessional and communicational elements. Often relaying brief moments of physical and mental pain, often my own feelings, into figurative sculptural forms using materials associated with vulnerability and defence simultaneously.

My practice pivots upon exploring the use of Super 8 film within art (a practice that unconventionally works directly into the film without the use of a camera) to result in the question - what is film? Reoccurring themes include a broken society and memories.

John Wright

I am exploring hinterlands between art and science. My practice revolves around the manipulation of narratives through questioning the contemporary role of documentation. I am influenced by an emerging philosophical paradigm entitled ‘Critical Realism’. I strive to capture the passage of time.
