My work uses sculpture and architectural miniaturisation to examine the human relationship with land and locations. Recently my research has been focused on the use of land and our ways of relating to it through history.

Ellen Brady
Artist working within and around the parameters of moving image. I am concerned with our internal world, the imagination, mental images and the relationship these have to our external world, our bodies, nature, non-human consciousness and the notion of 'the event’.
Sean Cummins
I work between abstraction and figuration. Employing strategies of flatness, I make paintings from found images as a kind of archaeological process. Every time I make a painting, even from the same source, a different quality comes through. I am not interested in the question of completing or resolving my work as a photographic representation. I juxtapose the image with painterly strategies whereby flatness, shape and colour are prioritised. The aim is to give new life through a subversive representation. My practice is similar to a reverse modernism that exposes the idealism of that time to our present gaze.

My practice lies between painting and sculpture, using various materials, and my work is based on my collection of patterned ceramic shards found whilst walking.

Gemma Caseley-Kirk
Gemma works as a freelance designer for live performance & actor based in the east midlands. She studied design at Nottingham Trent University, graduating with an exceptional 1st & won the ‘Nottingham Playhouse Prize’ 2020. She also trained at the BAFTA award winning Television Workshop. She is a co director in the theatre company ‘Major Labia’, associates at Nottingham Playhouse and designs, writes and performs for the company. Most recently they have been granted BFI funding, which they are working towards being filmed later this year. She enjoys working in both design & performance as separate crafts but appreciates how skills from both compliment each other in her work in a unique way. Her designs take a different form depending on each project & is influenced by the narrative, event or concept which will influence the colour, shape & form of each set, costume or artwork created.
Pádraig Condron
My work considers the human body, distinct from the mind, as a space we pour ourselves into and perform in. I consider the ways in which the ownership of this body is challenged, and invaded by limiting and expectant regimes. My work seeks to return the audience to a place of somatic authenticity. Using text, performance, video and audio I invite the viewer into a space that allows them to consider their own limitations and how the functions of our bodies are sanitised. Our natural human wetness is unacceptable. Sweating and spitting and dripping and leaking, the body is an object that we have been convinced we should distrust.
Charlie Dean
Performance, sound and video artist, exploring the prescriptive body through fabricated systems of bodily interaction and augmentation.
Lynn Fulton
The work is the process of choosing, positioning, placing and making, and each part of this should be active, setting up connections or a dialogue between things. There are contradictions, something that represents something that is in the world, made out of DIY materials, finding things that look like something without being it. The time spent sifting, organizing and placing becomes the experience of looking. My most recent body of work takes as a starting point offcuts of plywood, either that I have found or made myself. There is something compelling in the left over, the bit that was taken away from something that was the focus that is now lost. I am interested in colour as a way to articulate space, pattern and shape, exploring patterns to make unknowable forms, the relationships between clothing and our bodies and a pattern of fields in a flat landscape.
Christos Gkenoudis

Led by the seductive properties of materials, process and assemblage then run in parallel in order for the work to emerge somewhere inbetween. Materials meet instinct to create forms born out of spontaneity; the in the moment to and fro of maker and material. I choose to shift, and reappropriate the natural associations we have with these materials, in a way that somewhat goes against the ‘rules’ of my chosen medium. Breaking them out of the confines of what we know they are capable of, and perhaps suggesting an alternative. Seemingly hard transformed to a fluid form. Softness frozen solidly in a fixed state. Alluding to many things leaves you suspended in a state of unknowingness. For why should you need to know everything?
