The artists work to create a distance between themselves and their work to create the void which allows them to reflect on and then push at the boundaries , the edges of their practises, and into this same space the viewer is invited to find their own perspective on the exhibited work. Nine artists present to you an exciting range of work that inspires the conversation about the current and the exhibition is in media that ranges from Sculpture, Installation through Painting, Printmaking and Photography.

Exhibiting Artists:
Richard Brayshaw - Richard uses photography to explore our relationship with the physical environment. He seeks to cause the viewer to question and speculate.
Andrea Coltman - Andrea Coltman's practice interrogates transitional moments, place and spaces. Her paintings reflect and question both the physical and psychological passages through a place or environment.
Charlie Dillon - Charlie Dillons work plunders Paintings history using gesture and colour within densely worked canvases through to minimal sparse affairs. His interest to create a language that invites a new relationship with paint and its role in making art.
Naya Eleftheriou - Naya is intrigued by the idea that we can only perceive objects and our surroundings through our senses and that often there is a gap between what one knows and what one sees. This idea that we cannot observe objects as they are in themselves but only their representations raises questions about reality and illusion, truth and perception, appearance and deception and can be seen as a metaphor about life itself.
Pamela Gerrie - Pamela’s work is an observation of people life and human behaviour. She has a deep respect of the natural world. The medium of ceramics is her cornerstone, but she likes to experiment, break rules and test convention. She is currently glazing and enamelling housebricks and printing images from ceramic work onto canvas and continuing the piece in acrylic or oils.
Joanna Gilbert - Joanna Gilbert is an abstract painter currently studying a masters in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art. She uses spray paint and mixed media to convey what she terms ‘urban expressionism’ - a reflective internalisation of images gained from the observation of street art within urban environments.
Gail Olding - Totter is a tower of teacups which reference the biblical story of Babel. A tower reaching high into the sky where everyone spoke the same language and were peaceful. The Lord sent them far and wide dispersing their language into many.
Maria Vesterinen - Maria Vesterinen is a Finnish artist whose work carries elements of dark tones and surrealism. She specialises in creating otheworldly scenes that have a connection to real events and places.
