Artwork description:
New Smoke 10 is from a series of photos derived from translations of writing about the paintings of Neo Rauch. I translated these writings using Oulipian methods, made various models based on these translations, and I then photographed the models – so a kind of conversation between painting, writing and photography.

Before lockdown, I was always that individual that kept herself quiet and didn't want to express my feelings because I was afraid of any type of judgement if I expressed my own opinion or feelings. But during the lockdown, to even now, I have changed. I started to know about myself more as a person regarding my own identity and the environment that I live in (which many times I have overlooked). When being in my personal space has led me to create such a personal powerful project around my self-representation exploring my own identity. Many times, I have faced a wide range of negative comments regarding myself, whether it's the colour of my skin, how I portray myself as a 'biracial individual' but mostly the issues do circle around my hair. I started to unlock that side of the past and I was determined to create a positive out of the negative, which has led to the images that I have created today.

Artwork description:
I work with alternative photographic processes and build on my prints. I have been experimenting with incorporating the landscape into my process by working with materials foraged from the land. These prints are phytograms, an organic camera-less photographic process created by Karel Doing. The technique employs the chemistry of plants to produce prints on analogue photographic surfaces. They were made with leaves, petals and berries sourced close to my home in Warwick. I enjoy the materiality of this process, layering the flora directly onto the paper and exploring colour, marks and impressions.

Artwork description:
The mindset for this image was to provide representation for members of the LGBTQ+ community and empower them by bringing them into a space that hasn’t yet been made accessible. I wanted to cast a gay man as a femme fatale, the seductive and dangerous woman that you’d see in a bond film that the protagonist lusts after only to fall victim to a trap after being charmed. The aim was to showcase modern attraction and provide the nuance which is still missing from today’s cinema.

This woman is confidently applying her red lipstick, her war paint. But the ‘shaky’ image suggests that something else is going on; she is unsettled, she is preparing for something. I hope this image encourages viewers to form their own story about what she’s going through and ask questions such as what is she thinking about? What/who is she getting ready for? Is she okay?

Artwork description:
Taken at HMP Send, this image was inspired by RHS records from WW1 prison camp gardeners. The women I was working with wanted to recreate one of the archive group portraits. This physical performance of solidary showed a recognition of shared experiences and, wanting to be seen in that context, participants asked for the picture to be sepia. The group became confident in directing me as a photographer to make the most of the rare opportunity of having a camera in the prison. We agreed our artworks should be shared where possible, to build public understanding, but this would only be agreed by authorities if works were anonymous. I decided to use the archive’s digitising photography colour calibration chart as a censor bar, which linked with discussions we had about archives and agency. Visibility is itself a form of resistance: prisoners refusing to be hidden away are asking society to question itself and its difficult issues.

Artwork description:
Female Calculations is a digital photo collage showing a series of entrances to footpaths in Birmingham where the artist feels a degree of anxiety. The photos are aggregated into a grid format via a sequence of repeated images in rows. This is in order to denote the multiple ways a solo female assesses and computes the space in which she is about to enter. This is based on the idea that women in particular have subjective algorithms of fear based on their lived experience, biases, presence of potential predators, visibility, dress and many other data points (both positive and negative). The riso print invites the viewer into the spaces and denotes a seemingly computerised view of these overlays and calculations. The work was developed as part of a British Council-sponsored cultural art exchange with Indonesian artists. It was not exhibited in this format but created as a separate limited edition print of 30 for sale.

Artwork description:
My responses were photographed on Edmund Street and outside the Birmingham School of Art. The photographs are responses to street violence against women. In particular, they are responses to the Sabina Nessa murder case. I was horrified by this and wanted to initiate my Fine Art Masters studies by responding to this. As a Feminist based artist keen to represent issues that affect many women's lives today, including the violation of women's street safety, I couldn't help by responding to this issue. My response was unavoidable and I wanted to use my visual Fine Art practice as a way of acknowledging and raising awareness. I hope that upon viewing the photographs the public will re-consider how the street is not always a safe or comfortable space for women; it can be dangerous and life-threatening. This work will enable the lost lives of women to never be forgotten. I hope the images will raise awareness of how we can work together to make the streets safer for all.

Artwork description:
Cherry blossom trees and birdsong is a personal reflection of family life during 2020. After spending a year feeling guilty and conflicted for working more than spending time with my children, on 23rd March 2020 all that changed. Britain went into its first national lockdown and walks around the block became the norm. Bird song was now the sound of the streets. The contrasting emotions of seeing beauty in the everyday but knowing of this horror gripping the world was difficult to comprehend and process. Yet I selfishly got to spend the quality time with them I had felt torn about all year. Seeing them grow, play and build their relationship was special. And whilst there was joy and warmth in those summer months, there was also moments of frustration, boredom and worry as the repetition of lockdown continued. As we move into the 2nd year of the pandemic it’s hard to fathom what the lasting impact of it will be on this younger generation.

Keisha Tulloch — Unknown Departure

Artwork description:
The focus of this body of work is addressing the human relationship with nature/space & the relationship between beauty and significance by bringing attention to outside space including groves and merged, intertwined branches in nature reserves. The idea of photographing how nature has been left to evolve and change in its own way is just so satisfying as they haven’t been touched by the human hand after being planted there for hundreds of years so the feeling of walking through sublime can never be pinpointed but leaves you with a sense of internal reconnection while being an inherently natural force. This large print examines the way that sublime landscapes are one that is very unfamiliar to many so through this, I want to bring together the reality of existence and the beautiful significance that evolved landscapes shouldn’t be hidden as something dark and socially constructed. The sublime should be appreciated and kept in the light with immense nobility.

This photograph is part of an ongoing documentary project of mine titled 'solitary'. It is well known that our society is sadly full of loneliness, and as humanity shrouds itself in social media, the real world seems bleak and empty but in fact its full of beauty and peace. This photo encapsulates the essence of being alone but not lonely. This is a grabbed documentary photo at the national war memorial. This young man caught my eye and I had to capture his life in my camera as he stood reading the leaflet about the graves around him. I assume he was looking for friends or family as he would always have them in his heart and never be alone.

The photograph captures a boarded up window display, the window has been painted roughly so a passer-by can't see inside. Scratched into the paint are the words 'Your Poor'. Although this appears to be a grammar mistake, it feels indicative of the economic decline in the neighbourhood and local high street that belong to the community. It is 'your poor', your problem, your community, your experience.

Artwork description:
Eco-anxiety and its psychological effects are increasing and having a disproportionate impact on young people. The artwork is from a current series based on practice-led PhD research exploring transitional spaces and ages in times of climate crisis. Winnicott defined transitional space as an intermediate area; a space of experiencing between inner and outer worlds where creativity exists. The piece merges an image of my thirteen-year-old son, with that of seed heads and leaf skeletons found on our walks together. Combining inkjet transfers with the transaquatype process, the image was soaked in water causing colours to bleed and behave unpredictably. New spaces emerge and create a fluidity that questions the gap between me and not me, offering alternative visions of our shared environmental future.

This is another shot of the bowling balls used by my sister Lisa, as we continue to bowl in the new year 2022, as after two years we are still waiting for her day centre to open. After COVID happened,it was shut down for now two years and Lisa has been coming to bowl with me. All these funky colours represent our happiness at bowling together every week at Hollywood Bowl, Rubery, but also the balls are very different to the first Bowling 2021 image. We have been bowling every Thursday for that long, they’ve even renovated in that time. I noticed the change and it made me giggle, but the harshness of the colours and repetition of the shot also resembles the time we are still waiting to see when Lisa can once again bowl with her friends at day centre.

Via the combination of participant photographs, emulsion lifts, oral storytelling and artist portraits – the project has realised into a photobook co-authored by McGill and his participants. Individuals seeking asylum in Britain often live on the margins of society after fleeing their native country, their life has been catapulted from one nation to another. Yet, even as they find comfort in Britain, they are met with the hostile environment imposed by the British government. It was always important to support the participants creative development through such a creative service that is often not provided to individuals seeking asy

The Women in Trees is an on-going collaborative portraiture project founded upon the the celebration of natural Afro hair. The work was inspired by the over-representation of Eurocentric beauty standards embedded into Western society. In particular, I encountered a photo-book that collated archival images found in flea markets of women photographed in and around trees. What I noticed was that all of the women were from European backgrounds, and so I felt an urge to challenge this domination of Eurocentrism. The Women in Trees provides a space for women that embody and embrace the beauty of their Afro hair to express their thoughts and opinions regarding their hair without the interference of external bodies suggesting what is acceptable and what is not. Through a series of open-calls, participants from across England were casted to participate in the body of work and have their portrait captured within nature. Alongside portraits, semi-structured interviews were conducted in order t

The Pause Project; the images capture a reflective, meditative, intimate view of buildings that are in a pause state, life has left them, they await death by demolition or new breath through new use. Often the marks and scars of use are recorded on walls and surfaces, but human life has departed. The body of work is growing as each building is accessed through careful negotiation and recorded as a memory to be shared. Philip sees this as an important gathering of memories as towns and cities once again embark on the growing pains of massive regeneration. “Defining : The moment of discontinuity : The state of in-between”. “Acting : To dwell in the moment and capture the interstitial state”. Philip has exhibited in Birmingham and London and has his work hung by collectors in Hong Kong, London and Birmingham.

Working with ReFramed, I adopted a documentary approach when examining the effects that Covid-19 is having on the Muslim community. Using fragments of light and shadow, I highlight extracts of the mosque which are overlooked, and give them a renewed perspective. The ambience created within the space reveals how detached we have been with each other but a light shines through bringing hope for a new dawn. Throughout this series, I explore the significant changes that have emerged in religious spaces as a result of Covid-19. I focus on the muslim community, showcasing how mosques have enforced social distancing measures to ensure the safety of individuals coming together to pray. Prayer is an essential part of a muslim’s life. Pre-Covid mosques were bustling for individual and communal prayers. When congregating everyone stood in straight rows shoulder-to-shoulder. The arrival of Covid-19 has shaken the practice of congregational prayers, enforcing social distancing which is now the

Artwork description:
Located in ecological posthumanism, this work explores the cultural imaginaries of science and speculative fiction; a blend of the sculptural and photographic that seeks to make manifest, dystopian myths of the near future. ‘Skip of Fools’, refers to book VI of Plato’s Republic about a ship with a dysfunctional crew, the skeletal figure pushes a skip/ship up a mountain of architectural debris, an allegory to the Greek myth of Sisyphus and the eternal loop of our self-destruction on earth. The skip is full of live botanicals, a reference to the film ‘Silent Running’ a 1972 American post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie, set in the future after all plant life on earth has perished. The last surviving forests have been collected and preserved in a series of giant geodesic domed greenhouses attached to spaceships, located just outside the orbit of Saturn.

Artwork description:
The image features a constructed sculptural tableau that is photographed in a high contrast backlit studio environment and subsequently manipulated digitally with a post-production technique normally eschewed by professional photographers. Threads of Fate, with a title taken from Timothy Morton's Dark Ecologies, depicts entangled, botanical phantasmagoria, inspired by the 1930’s ‘Jungle Paintings’ of Max Ernst and surrealist sculptural assemblages. The work explores the human relationship to the natural world, the environmental impact of mass consumerism, and the potential consequences of climate change. Alluding to a Ballardian theme of nature’s retribution that questions the myth of human supremacy and the return of nature in the PostHuman.

Artwork description:
'Freedom is Imagination' is a self-portrait which documents a personal period of ill health, which often resulted in my isolation and frequent bed rest, where my return to good health was nurtured by my engagement with the natural world. I am an avid wild and garden bird enthusiast and decided to create a haven for birds in my garden in order to counteract the decline in numbers through creating an inviting environment in which many varieties could thrive (which was a great success!). I then photographed the variety of birds which visited my garden, to observe them and to learn more about them. I found that I was inspired by their beauty, entertained by their curious behaviours and fascinated by their interactions, all of which facilitated my own healing and recovery. In this image I am surrounded by an adult and juvenile Goldfinch, a Blue Tit and a House Sparrow, where the birds symbolise freedom whilst I dream of making art.

Theresa Bradbury — Of Never Being Simply One

Photography

Artwork description:
With the work, I am exploring and interrogating social boundaries and acceptable codes of exposure; the appropriate/inappropriate dichotomy in relation to femininity. Referencing a disruption of the social and symbolic ordering of the female body and a rejection of woman as idealised surface; subverting the socially dictated artificial femininity represented through media imagery. Disembodied female body parts are used within the media as Capitalist advertorial eroticism. The work explores the idea put forward by Sandra Bartky of the self-policing female, committed to a relentless self-surveillance and an obedience to patriarchy; paralysed as commodity. Women’s bodies are bound by the societal norms which shape them into a constraining corporeality that is difficult to inhabit, assessed against the narrow framework of patriarchal governance. Of Never Being Simply One offers a disruption from the regulation and scrutiny involved in being a female body.

Artwork description:
The performer seeks sanctuary within the familiarity of the net curtain, partially hidden, but vulnerable in her nakedness, is the textile providing peace or is it stifling in its position as representing a culturally dictated femininity. Presenting herself as a live sculpture, she is posed. Performing the rhetoric of the pose, she is immobilised by their gaze and the gaze is immobilised her presence. The surface of the body as the site of cultural inscription, bound by political forces. In this masquerade, the woman is concealed by reproducing the dominant image of femininity through the discipline to societal norms and viewed through a patriarchal lens. The work draws influence from consumerist capitalism and explores the idea of the female body as inherently performic. An exploration into the ideas of Joan Riviere that femininity can be viewed as a masquerade, performed by mimicking what being a woman is meant to be about; woman concealed behind the mask of a patriarchal femininity.
