Moich Abrahams

Moich enjoys combining spontaneity and playfulness with exploring deeper aspects of the unconscious. He is fascinated with both unwrapping the mysterious and reinventing child-like expressiveness. Central to this process is the art of ‘letting go’.

Mark Ainsworth

There are many things that influence my work; these include Islamic Art, Classical music, Alchemy & the various places I have travelled to.

Wendy Anderson

I am interested in the sensation of looking.

Victoria Arney

I work across the boundaries of painting, printmaking and drawing. I am interested in the spaces between narratives and transformational spaces.

Victoria Bartlett

Victoria Bartlett moulds paper and other materials to make quiet images.

Bryan Benge

My current working practice is informed by an investigation into the use of LTM (Long Term Memory), particularly episodic memory/ schemata that refer to specific events in time (autobiographical).

Slavomir Blatton

My work, which uses oil, watercolour, photography, and print mediums in particular, is figurative and seeks a fusion of the new and the traditional.
