EILEEN MAHER

Eileen Maher's current work combines elements of both performance and sculpture as recorded in a series of experiments using sculptural and everyday found objects. Viewer's expectations are challenged when observing the extreme tension created as objects are forced to interact. Strength and fragility are explored through the physical properties of the objects used.

JACQUELINE DAWSON

Jacqueline Dawson's work investigates the subject of memory in the context of human migration. Her images are the combination of what we might imagine and what we may actually see. The space between the two allows us to examine the sense of alienation and displacement often found in human migration. The movement of images formed within this space explores theories of displacement.

CORRIN TULK

Sacred land and sacred objects, death and impermanence, form the core of Corrin Tulk's practice. Of the two installation works on show Following the Guides allows the viewer to accompany three acknowledged human guides on a series of walking meditations. By doing so and through absorbing the imagery, the work acts as a tool for contemplation and self-reflection. This work explores the complex emotion of trust. The second work, Instant Shrines, explores the audience's belief systems and views on the integration of body and soul.

ANNA TUFF

Anna Tuff's work is concerned with the body. Fascinated by blood, the work articulates not only the importance of this substance as a complex physical entity, but also as a metaphor for identity. The work challenges aspects of our relationship to blood and questions how the audience might feel in being confronted with this vital fluid.

LISA HILL

Lisa Hill's work explores portrait, autobiography and biography. These are translated not through a literal depiction of an event or realistic portrait, but rather by an abstract representation of a person or a specific moment in time. This is brought about through a response to an object acting as a souvenir to prompt an emotion or narrative. Materiality and tactility are key to the work as is the choice of a slow and contemplative working method referencing both archaeological and geographical methodologies.

IAN HILL

Ian Hill's work is an assimilation of portrait painting and photomontage. Through the use of optical illusion, he creates the appearance of a virtual space between two images as a way to articulate differences between celebrity and modern society.

BELINDA BEAN

The work of Belinda Bean aims to capture the beauty of light, form and texture within a composition. The simplification of these elements is used as a device to enable the eye to read the images more easily. By focusing on shape and pattern, original subject matter is not always apparent and is of secondary importance to the overall aesthetic of the work.
