Previous Members

Adam Hogarth I am fascinated by the role of the throwaway family snapshot, its links to memory and how people use it to connect to the past.
2010 - 2011
Alex Breeze My work examines the term 'ownership' and what it means to make your work. Does it matter if your work is made for you, or is the end result of greater importance?
2010 - 2012
Alison Hayes Recording vistas through photography, my works begin life as personal documentaries.
2010 - 2012
Ally Morton My paintings explore a satirical world inhabited by animals and fantastical creatures staged in dark, chimerical landscapes like Goya's Black Paintings, Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights and the work of Odilon Redon.
2010 - 2012
Andrew Maughan Andrew Maughan's distorted, and fragmentary portraits endlessly obfuscate comfortable certainty.
2010 - 2012
Andrew Peter Sandercock I am drawn to the idea of making work about nothing.
2010 - 2012
Ben Jeans Houghton My practice is fuelled by and fuels my life. I strive to create within self-imposed structures.
2010 - 2012
Bob Lee Much of work is about loss, absence, emptiness and the transience of time.
2010 - 2012
Cai Nyahoe Faced with the question of how to operate as an artist within an exuberant art market my recent work: Towards a Semi-Autonomous Self-Perpetuating Art (Phone Sex) plays with the parameters of an instantaneous society.
2010 - 2010
Graeme Durant Durrant is an eclectic gatherer of redundant domestic and industrial objects.
2010 - 2012
Hannah Gillespie Anything can be reduced to commodity and repeated over and over.
2010 - 2012
Joy Simpson I like to use paint in its capacity to perform through slippery brush marks, contrasted and conflicting with flat and still planes of paint. The paintings look to colour in its ability to express emotion.
2010 - 2012
Leanne Marie De La Hay By taking a step back from the role of performer to video individuals' reactions, I use the camera to separate performance from audience, creating a border or stage between the two.
2010 - 2012
Mike Pratt Mike Pratt's large canvases immediately engage us with frank and achingly simple phrases borrowed from contemporary life.
2010 - 2012
Neesha Champaneria Life is a trompe' lioel. Eating a samosa filled with mushy peas.
2010 - 2012
Richard Moat The further South you travel towards the South Pole, the more your body becomes increasingly disorientated.
2010 - 2012
Sebastian Trend I am interested in the concept of change: the nature of permanence and impermanence, questioning how one holds on to the transitory.
2010 - 2010
Stephen Collins Using the found object as a catalyst for an investigation into ideas surrounding validation and representation, whilst exploring digital and print processes that imply form and presence, have led me to consider the broader notion of materiality.
