Aimee
Lax
These sculptural forms stand to discuss our endeavours to create
and exist in a world of artificial nature. I explore themes of attraction/repulsion,
familiar/unfamiliar and other-wordliness by examining the conventions
of displaying nature within our culture.
The materials I use are vital to this discourse. I use porcelain
for its symbolism, it’s purity, fragility and strength, often
mixing with contrasting materials for example silicone rubber, metal,
the ready-made object, other clays and glass.
The sculptures can exist in a variety of environments, often made
in components they can transform and change through installation.
Displaying the work in the gallery context, new questions arise
of how the viewer experiences not only nature itself, but art about
nature and the role of artificiality. In doing this, I present a
reflection on the contemporary situation of the relationship between
nature and culture.

Austen O'Hanlon
The use of photography and painting
has become a constant dialogue in my work. The need to assess how
to apprehend an image through photographic means is problematic
and intriguing. I feel this is where my concern lies: that is, the
relation between how an image is processed and the personal 'apprehension'
of that image. A recent intention within my work has been learning
how to make decisions about what to extract from the photograph
and how to progress from a pre-existing image. The process of painting
allows me to converse with myself about how to exact an image. My
painting starts off being a representation of a person's character,
and it ends up becoming involved within the processes of painting
through analysis of photography and using the medium of painting.
I begin by drawing out the image from the photograph, then I eradicate
it immediately. This process is repeated a number of times until
the form has been placed. It is an attempt to resolve/resist the
photograph and to turn the image into a new form: altering the form
of the figure and distorting the original image creates a new, fractious
image with a history of decision-making.

Emily Smith
Emily is a sculptor, ceramicist and installation artist.
Her practice examines themes of loss, absence and trace and stands
as an investigation of memory; the subjectivity, transience and
loss inherent in the act of remembering. The work is rooted in philosophy
and in theory such as Derrida's theory of grammatical trace and
Freud's theory of memory, and applies it to the materials and methods
used. The work questions objective and singular memory, and investigates
how the past is recalled through both visual memory and physical
trace.
