The artists
-
Alistair Ayres
My current practice involves working with light, shadows, flying objects and inflatable structures. Where possible, I use throwaway and cheap materials, such as rubbish bags and food packaging. Scraps of acetate and pieces of space blankets are used to bend and reflect light, creating strange and eerie seemingly 3D effects.

Kathryn Davies
My practice is driven by a curiosity of the nature of experience. My creative process is a listening, engaging fully with the present moment and exploring impulses that arise. My work involves an unravelling of the perception of separate, solid things, a stripping away the ‘thingness’, discovering an 'isness’. I use photography, collage, print, paint, drawing, and found things.

Andy D'Cruz
My core practice explores mark, colour light and form through layers of graphite, glazes of colour, and paired down sculpture. I work closely with qualities intrinsic to a material itself creating a nuanced experience of a single colour, or images that emerge through the play of light between mark and viewer.

Susan Forster
Materials and material objects are my point of departure. Their physical potential and aesthetic properties lead the way. In the Modernist tradition, my work has no inherent meaning, leaving any interpretation to the viewer. My current materials are scale models of pallets, corrugated cardboard and bamboo skewers.

Kerry Kent
I am a fine art film and textiles artist. My current obsession is lost, forgotten or abandoned objects that were once important to someone, even if they had little or no material value. I am particularly interested in the liminal quality that these objects hold and I try to capture and preserve this within my work.

Pippa King
East London artist with an MA from London Met’s School of Art, Architecture and Design. Interested in icons, feminism and the Uncanny. My multi-disciplinary practice uses drawing, print, photography and 3D. I am making ritual objects for a non-hierarchical and non-masculine religion.
-
Sally King
The subjects of my works encompass fact and fiction, memory and folklore. Investigations into historical discourse are interrupted by flashes of observational and automatic drawing. I am inspired by movement over time and the connections between land and sea, and nostalgia and forgetting. My most recent works have included portraits of fictional characters.
-
Rosie Morgan-Stuart
I am interested in the visual representation of pressing issues, such as political upheaval and threats to the environment, particularly the ocean. I aim to deepen my own understanding and provoke discussion. I use ink and pencil, often in monochrome. I play with the presentation to encourage an engaging experience for the viewer.
-
Richard Paton
I am a mixed media sculptor using kinetic mechanical gesture to explore the science and culture of invisible forces such as electromagnetism and the Sixth Great Extinction. I like to draw upon recent findings in physics to discover new sculptural forms and interesting visual metaphors through which to see the familiar afresh.

Hannah Stuart
My creative practice explores the complexity and struggles of women’s lives in society through printmaking, sewing, carving, threading, cutting and writing. Working with a variety of materials, I combine and play with them to investigate the political and personal, highlighting the web of women’s connections, interactions and communications.
