I am a painter, printmaker and modal maker, whose work explores the relationship of the human form within varying landscapes, both urban and rural. I approach colour with a playful exploration, and employ an expressive style of mark making to convey the diversity of form I see within the architecture and countryside around me with most of my inspiration coming from the beauty and culture of the places I visit and live in.

Born in France in 1976, I have been living in London since 2000 and interested in questioning the way Context define the Individual. Most of my works question women selfidentity in a society filled with taboos, exploitation, and the commercialization of sex and happiness. I take inspiration from the visual codes of consumerist society, traditions and religious beliefs starting working on mixed media sculptures in 1997.

P alme r

Rhiannon is a sculptor, jeweller and concrete lover who likes to play with colour, texture and other mediums to turn concrete from a boring industrial material into vibrant, tactile and engaging work. Her work takes many different forms and is inspired by a variety of sources but always tries to encapsulate this playful idea of ‘reification’, materializing the abstract. She is currently working on a series of hand cast concrete jewelery.

Chang H e e Le e

Chang Hee Lee is an object designer currently based in London whose work mostly revolves around industrial design. He is a maker who is looking for an ‘Ultra Object’ that can exquisitely impact the designer’s making perspective. His approach to design is experimentally courageous and, as an object designer, this propels him to focus more on mechanical, materials and alchemistic exploration.

In the past, when people spent their spare time reading a book, they read paper books. Nowadays though, people use computers, smart phones and iPads to read during their spare time but electronic books cannot provide the analogue aesthetic which can be felt in a paper book. People cannot feel the texture, turn the pages or smell the different scents of paper not satisfying the reader mentally and emotionally.

An interactive installation, taking as it’s starting point the idea of the book as a physical object, and its unavoidable destruction over time. The opening of a book is suggestive of the opening of a door, an opening to a number of possibilities, often the opening of a door to our own private worlds. Exploring the relationship of the physical and the spiritual and our belief that the physical object is more ‘real’.
