Lesley Evans: Untitled, etching, each: 60cm x 60cm
Page 20
The subject of my work is the grid translated through architecture. Each print is created using a number of etching plates each of which is an individual module. The physical changes in each plate are a semiotic to suggest both a narrative to reflect the changing attitudes to our social climate and the concept that as individuals, we appropriate our environment. Krauss says that in the spatial sense the grid states the autonomy of the realm of art, flattened, geometricized, ordered. Krauss R. 1986, The Originality of the Avant-Garde and the Modernist Myths. The presentation of my work within the exhibition uses the grid to delineate a structure of tight control and to suggest the limitless. Email: laevans27@yahoo.co.uk
Kate Foy: Organic Forms, digital photographs, various
Page 21
My work, using the format of photography, explores the context of how we perceive Organic, along with the uncertainty of abstract form. The images impose a certain amount of unease in the viewer; imploring them to question what they actually see. The images can often conjure different responses in an audience; depending upon each persons vision. I wanted them to have a lot of texture; to entice the viewer. The detailed imagery of different matter, substance and intricate patterns all made abstract through the photographic form. Email: skycat_foy@yahoo.co.uk

Dan Hasker: Film Still #01, film (digital), site-dependent projection
Page 23
My work plays with the knowledge of our own self-existence and the finality of it; working on that uncertainty of life and death that is within us all. I address my subject through film, the media through which life and death is most commonly fed to us in easy digestible pieces. The use of objects as metaphors is one that is not uncommon in the art world, from the more recent works of Hirst, to the use of iconography within still life painting; we have become fluent in the language of objects. These simple photo-like videos stand as visual thoughts on the concept of death. Email: djhasker@hotmail.com
