Kath MayallI spend the winter months in The Gambia West Africa and teach local men and women how to make these colourful rag rugs. They use hessian bags for the base of the rug and free o�-cuts from the many local tailors and dressmakers. I supply the tools and the training and they make their own designs. All the pro�ts go back to The Gambia. In some cases the income is an important supplement to a poorly paid job, in others it means that the person who made the rug can eat!

Felix Hayns-WorthingtonRecently, I have gained inspiration for my art practice from literature such as Ishiguro's 'The Unconsoled' and Robert L Stevenson's 'The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. The stories present perplexing worlds and experiences and added to my interest of alienation and human transformation. The strange and surreal experiences of the characters has directed me to digital collaging, and exploring how digital technology has transformed our lives.
