The Phenomenal Female Who am I

Deborelle Shaw

Thankfully, there are plenty of women who have fought for equality, even in the face of discrimination, violence and more. From securing the right to vote to our continuing fights for equality of pay, socially-valued goods, opportunities, resources, and rewards.

It’s women who are leading the way. This painting encompasses the force of women up through the 20th and 21st Century, Covid and beyond and until the present day. It engenders energy and denotes ‘Showtime’ from the sex which is definitely not the weaker sex. Here are some seminal quotes:

“I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.” Marilyn Monroe. “No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half its citizens.” Michelle Obama. “Who run the world? Girls.” Beyoncé. “My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet, is that they all realise their worth and ask for it.” Taylor Swift. “We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.” Malala Yousafzai. “No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor’ Betty Friedan.

Karyn Mannix

Karyn Mannix, born in New York, has been in most aspects of the art business. First as a fashion and costume designer, studying at Fashion Institute of Technology. By the age of 21, she had her own clothing line that has been in feature films, Vogue Magazine, cover of WWD, Cyndi Lauper’s HBO Tour, Michael Mann’s “Crime Stories” TV Series, and was displayed alongside Donna Karan at Bloomingdales, NYC.

She also freelanced various jobs as a fashion illustrator for WWD and French Connection; window installation for Bergdorf Goodman, Diane Von Furstenberg & Barneys NY; plus, set and prop design for numerous theater troupes.

Moving to East Hampton (NY), she earned a second degree in Post Modern Art Theory & Criticism which led to stints as curator, critic, columnist, gallerist, educator, and coordinating five international art fairs, eventually opening her own art school, which is now closed.

Previously owning four brick and mortar galleries, Karyn has simplified and settled into a career as a private art dealer, representing artists from around the globe. Through all of this, Karyn has never stopped creating her own art and has added playing the electric bass into her repertoire with her all-female band, Pussy’s Pond.

Judy Becca

Art has always been something that touches my soul. Even as a small child I had my favourites. My parents often took me to art exhibitions and we had artistic people around us.

Creativity has very much been a part of my identity.

I worked in early years for 35 years and I hope I bought creativity to the children in my care from the 6 ft rainbow adorning the the nursery window to the card board castle they could play in. We had many wonderful creative journeys. Both in creating visual art work and story telling. It is amazing the complexity of a story a 2-5 year old can tell you about their art work.

in my time I have worn many different hats...from student doing exams and gaining a place ay Goldsmiths to learn teaching with my main subject as art. Then the joy of being a mother to my two daughters. Teaching co-counselling.

Later I studied reflexology and worked in a practice in Covent garden.

alongside caring for my husband who had motor neurone disease until is death.

It was then when I was nursing him that I reignited my painting and creativity. The first painting being an angel. I needed one!!!

All these things have bought me to being the women I am today. As the show is about the phenomenal woman! The times I have reached into my inner self to find more strength in the emptiness. I have found it-within from Spirit.

Samar Zia

At the core of my practice is the intersection between nature and technology. Having started exploring human anatomy versus human dignity in 2009, my practice has evolved organically to investigate connected factions of nature such as land reclamation and sea, animals and biotechnology.

Since the pandemic, climate change has become a recurring theme in my work. Using natural disasters such as urban and flash flooding as a point of departure, my paintings reference climate crisis, land reclamation and profit at the expense of the people and environment in developing countries such as Pakistan.

This ongoing series began as a response to the Monsoons of 2020 that resulted in massive urban flooding in Karachi, Pakistan and country wide flooding in 2022. Each time the floods left the country devastated, with huge losses incurred by the people. In 2020 the part of town with my home was completely submerged. Ironically, this area of the city consists of reclaimed land and was part of the Arabian Sea less than 50 years ago. Watching the waves crashing against the infrastructure, with homes and bridges alike underwater, it was a sad yet powerful awakening; nature was retrieving its space. An uprising of sorts, where the notion of water memory clashed with urban planning and ownership. This idea came to fruition in the paintings Reclaiming Bahria,Selling the Sea, Land Map v/s Water Memory and Dou Kaaley Kaway. My miniature paintings take on an anthropocentric role to lend a sympathetic voice to nature to relay its story.

While maintaining the traditional technique and purpose of Miniature painting i.e. storytelling, I enjoy experimenting within the genre of miniature painting. To elaborate, the pandemic caused a shift in perspective when our freedom was challenged. Looking at urban flooding through the lens of entrapment, I began to explore the notion of limitations. Technically, miniature painting, a two dimensional genre has always been used to represent a fourth dimension; a perspective relaying every angle simultaneously as is believed to be viewed by God. In this mix of the second and fourth dimension I have introduced a 3D perspective. In 2020 I started to paint within a hexagon as opposed to a traditional rectangle, then, pushing the boundaries further I gave form to the hexagon. I now continue to incorporate elements of a 3D perspective to a skewed and layered image to test the boundaries of Miniature Painting.

Lihui liang

Lihui is an artist, filmmaker, and musician originally from Beijing, China, now based in London. She is primarily interested in human beings: who we are, why we are here, and what the possibilities of our future are. Through her paintings, she creates a counter-reality world with strange creatures, divine animals, and enhanced humans. She invites people to explore their true/potential selves that may have been hindered by societal constraints. In her recent work, "A Woman’s Journey towards Self-Love," she explores the themes of nudity and freedom without clothes. When Adam and Eve ate the apple, they felt the need to hide their bodies. However, in modern times, particularly in Counter-reality, there is no such requirement. The woman depicted in the image is engaging in self-pleasure and exuding confidence in her sexual liberation.

Jessica Lawrance

Since 2007 I have been "drawn" to drawing, I was travelling through northern Italy and found myself feverishly sketching the local architecture and landscapes around Lake Maggiore and produced a first portfolio of work. In 2013 I experimented with photography whilst completing a Master's in Anthropology and created a photographic record of the grave of poet Sylvia Plath, recording the rituals and experiences of the visiting literary pilgrims. In 2015 my eyes were struck by a viral infection and I was temporarily visually impaired; text and objects became blurred. I found refuge in the free concerts played across London and sought inspiration for my poetry readings which were set to classical music. I have been writing and performing poetry since I was eighteen both in the USA where I was born and in London where I've lived since the mid 1990s. During the concerts I was “doodling” and realised the doodles had a discernible scratchy outline reflecting what I was actually seeing. I've been sketching live musicians ever since. It's a kinetic not a static experience where image and sound become seamlessly melded together. During lockdown, using coloured pencils and crayons I started copying work by Picasso, Kahlo and Chagall giving the pictures my own slant and interpretation. Sometimes overlaying a colour filter onto the hand drawn pictures. "Girl with Four Parrots" was created during this period to celebrate my daughter's academic success.

Maryam Hashemi

Maryam Sandjari Hashemi is a multidisciplinary artist and a Spiritual coach.

Her art practice includes Visual Art, Performance and Textile.

She has been an artist for over two decades and her work is rooted in her upbringing in Iran and her colourful life.

Since she was very young she was encouraged to draw by her family and, as a neurodivergent child, it became a refuge for her especially in awkward social situations.

Her style is Idiosyncratic, combining different styles such as visionary, expressive, illustration and abstract. They are dense with imagery, often containing Jungian Archetypes, distorted popular culture icons and snapshots of her memories and daily life.

Inspirations from the rich cultural elements of Iranian heritage and living under the strict rules of The Islamic Republic, especially during the unsettling time of war with Iraq, combined with her complicated childhood experiences, has been the foundation of her being which is reflected in her work.

She believes her works can be experienced like psychedelic journeys, acting as mirrors reflecting deep parts of the viewer back at them. She often uses her paintings for divination and her own self development and is currently working on incorporating them into her Spiritual Coaching practice.

Caroline Sharma

Caroline Sharma was born in 1963 in Dunfermline,Fife and went to St Martin’s School of Art in 1989. Under the name Caroline London she exhibited throughout the 90’s and had a solo show at the Adam Gallery in South London in 1996. She became an art teacher in 1997 and has worked in challenging schools for over 20 years. In 2008 she graduated from Goldsmith’s College as an art therapist. She also worked on her late husband’s web platform in a small team for 10 years, in her spare time.

Caroline started painting in an abstract mode when she was at St Martin’s but gradually began to work in a more figurative style. ´ I think that you need to have some life experience to be able to sustain an abstract practice’, she said. ‘It is only now in later life that I understand what I am trying to say’.

Caroline is due to retire from teaching soon and is finally able to devote her time to her painting fulltime.

She is starting an MA in painting at London Met this autumn and is looking forward to this new opportunit

Jo Tyson

I chose fine art as my main course at Rachel McMillan teacher training college 1969-1971 and later, from 1976, was taught weaving by Quinn Farmer, who gave adult education classes at Charlton House, Greenwich.

I soon realised that I was drawn to making large rugs, which I exhibited in the UK and Germany. I liked to call these “Art for walking on”. I also made site specific pieces.

The last large commission was for a wall piece for a Nurses Common Room at Clacton hospital in 1985. After the birth of my son, the same year, I went back to teaching part time in a primary school and it wasn’t until more than six years later, when living in France, that I returned to weaving, making hand woven curtains and rugs for my house in the Vaucluse.

Once back in the UK in 1998 I was once again teaching, this time in a Nursery school. I started my Shiatsu training and, once again, my creativity took another direction in connecting the Macrocosmos with the Microcosmos through my training and practice of Shiatsu and Yoga.

It wasn’t until 2019, after visiting the Freeweaver Studio in Docklands, that I was inspired to start weaving again. This time on a Saori loom. Weavings on a smaller scale incorporating a sense of

freedom, movement and liberation.

Slavica Plemic

I come from a region where west meets east.

I come from a region where every generation has witnessed at least two wars in their life.

I already survived and escaped one war …

I come from a region where…

I come from a place where there is deep sadness behind every happiness.

I come from a place which permanently echoes a question throughout history: WHY?

I come from Helm – Balkan.

I was born in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia – a temporary state between 2 big wars and one kingdom and a dozen new states.

All my life I have been writing and painting, all the while carrying deep inside myself Helm’s fate.

After escaping the last war in Helm, I came to the UK in 1995 and I got actively involved in the Bar (Brent Artist Register), where I was active for 15 years, until abolition of the association.

Since 2018, I have been regularly exhibiting paintings at the Kensington Town Hall – PAF. At the same time, I established a collaboration with the Gallery Artefact in New York City, where I have also exhibited.

Most of my work is conceptual, imbued with an idea, a message, a story.

Over time, I have developed an authentic and recognisable style, achieving a sense of order or chaos, dynamics-movement or static and silence by an endless combinatorics of shape, colours and painting techniques.

Lucy Apple

Lucy Apple studied for a BA in Fine Art at Falmouth College of Art, graduating in 2005. After graduating, she attended Slade to do a MFA in painting. Lucy now lives and works in Falmouth, Cornwall.

At the beginning of lockdown, Lucy was stuck in a field in West Cornwall. During this time, she self-published a children’s book called The Pleasant Pheasant.

In March, Lucy had a solo exhibition for a month at The Fish Factory, Penryn, Cornwall entitled ‘Auntie Palsy’s Anecdotes.’ She exhibited her current works from her forthcoming book with the same name. Images included her experiences at a disabled boarding school to the present day. She got the name for the exhibition from her nephew as he used to call her Auntie Palsy. Lucy has had a few group exhibitions at Falmouth Art Gallery.

It took Lucy years to come to terms to say that she is a disabled artist because she hates labels but over time, she realised it has provided her with a body of work and experiences.

Lucy works from home, working on the floor, using her small living room as a studio. She writes anecdotes to accompany her pieces, adding humour and bright colours to her pictures. She works using collage as she finds it easier to change the pictures. Her PA cuts out her drawings, allowing her to move the images freely on the paper. Not every cut makes the final piece.

Michelle Baharier

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and my earliest memories are of being a creative.

My artistic practice is strongly influenced by my everyday experience of disability, addressing barriers and prejudices about dyslexia and trauma. I explore my inner conflicts showcasing my vulnerability.

My palette presents an expressive use of bold colours, that intuitively cross over into my own aesthetic language. I am inspired by people who fight for human rights.

I naturally create paintings that tell stories and inspire conversations. My paintings explore the spectrum of our human condition and changing states of consciousness. I bring to life sensations, reactions, responses and passions driven by the heart and intuition. I have found Surrealism, Pop Art and psychedelic art movements help open up my imagination to explore the world differently.

My oeuvre includes videos, sound, installation, performance, poetry, paintings, portraits, using storytelling, incorporating hybrid photography and digital collages.

My work is in a number of collections including ‘The Walkie Talkies’ supported by Arts Council, housed at The London Transport Museum, which is the first piece of disability Art history they own.

In Summer 2022, I had a residency at the ‘House of Annetta’ in Spitalfields, supported by Assemble winners of the Turner prize.

I studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and Hochschule für Bildende Künste Städelschule, in Frankfurt.

I live and work in London and exhibit internationally.

Chris Holley

As an abstract/figurative painter, Chris’s visual art is - due to DNA and background - always trying to squeeze into the space between dance and music. No surprise then that she studied Diaghilev's Ballets Russes' astonishing impact on the arts, her writings on it held in the National Library of Art in London's V&A, as well as at other major arts bodies here and overseas. She exhibits regularly in the UK and her art is in collections in the USA and Spain.

She works in acrylic and oil plus household emulsion, scratching and carving into the paint surface and working big when possible. She mostly uses sponges, cloths, sticks and her hands, plus other studio artifacts to make the more unexpected mark. Disliking the confines of a set-size canvas, she primes her own canvas, paints it unstretched, later cropping it to exact size and area.

Career highlights include winning international art competition Art Jazzed Up; selection for an international murals residency programme; starting up and featuring in Feeling the Beat project at major Berkshire arts centre South Hill Park; having her work selected by legendary abstract artist Bill Irvin for prestigious exhibition Discerning Eye and a TV appearance with Michael Portillo in the art slot of an episode of Great British Railways

Jonquil Todd

Arriving in London from the ‘sticks’ in the mid eighties ,Jonquil was her art.

The daily process of dress up and make-up and hair garnered her an easy living of hanging out and enjoying being fabulous!

Later, immersing herself in the street performing community of Covent Garden, which led to greater pursuit of performance art and costuming.

Characters creating themselves for myriad events has always filled her with joy.

Art has been her ticket to places, and in travels. Stilt characters, fire dance, big festivals and small here first, then out into the long dreamed of

Wonderful world, 7 years after first arrival in London.

Thailand where she survived and thrived from her fire art..

Then Malaysia and India.

There were travels in Europe. Performance Art in South Africa,Burning Man in America.

Later, again through Fire dance in Bali funded her flight to Java, where spiritual, energetic art saw her walk in a spiral from the top to the bottom of Borobudur at dawn, with a candle burning on her upturned palm. Meditating in light.

She has an ongoing mural on her living room wall , Art is All.

She is hopeful for a future where we can be more seal, pushing out total toxicity from our environments

Jonquil has lived her life as the mood took her, these moods became images and the images became her art.

Jan Woolf

Jan Woolf is a playwright, author, and painter. Blood Gold & Oil is her 4th performed play.
The previous three, Sphinx, Porn Crackers & You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know, were produced at the Hackney Empire & Royal Court. Her short story collection Fugues on a Funny Bone was published by Muswell Press and her second, Stormlight, by Riversmeet. Jan’s varied life as teacher, events producer, political

activist, film classifier and editor has informed her work. Like Dorothy Parker, Jan 'hates writing, but loves having written.’ She is published with International Times, as arts reviewer for the Morning Star, and obituary writer for The Guardian.

Anya Joanes

Born in London, to Indian and Dutch parents, growing up in Brazil and Portugal, Anya is a classically trained contemporary fine artist based in London.

Anya’s multicultural heritage can be felt in her work, a love of classical art, a desire to delve deeper into who we are, explore the light and dark side of humanity often within a greater universal context - nature. The fascination with the cycle of life, from birth to mortality, and beyond are themes are subtly present in her work.

The pandemic intensified the desire to delve deeper, enhancing feelings of isolation, mortality but equally the need to bring hope to the forefront.

Observation plays a key part in Anya’s oil paintings, triggering her inner world, imagination and unconscious. The intuitive process becomes paramount - “I follow the flow and take the painting wherever it wishes to go”. Symbolist and surrealist elements may appear, frequently in imaginary landscapes, lending an ethereal mysterious quality to her work.

In 2021, Anya exhibited in the Figurative Art Now show at the Mall Galleries , celebrating 60 years of the Federation of British Artists and at the Bath Society of British Artists and her work is held in various private collections.

Ping Lin

Ping specialises in portraiture in the media of oil on canvas and photography. She’s a ‘law of attraction’ coach with a growing YouTube channel that seeks to spread more positivity, energy and peace around the world to those who need it.

Ping first came to the UK in 1992 to learn and explore more about self-expression and individuality in art. She gained a master’s degree and from that point onwards, her creative ideas began to stem more from her own heart and experiences。

With her recent art exhibitions and book talks held in the Westminster reference library and Bookery gallery, Ping has gained a wider Western audience with her displays of Chinese culture.

In September 2019, Ping translated and compiled her father’s memoir, aptly titled: ‘To survive is victory’. Lin Xiangbei was born in 1917 and throughout his life he has seen feudal society, foreign aggression, civil war, the cultural revolution, and the advent of modern China.

Aside from her art and writing, Ping has also been a devoted volunteer of the MBL (mothers bridge of love) charity for decades now. The charity seeks to help adopted Chinese girls in the West reconnect with their roots and culture in the East. These values are ones that are particularly close to Ping’s heart, and she seeks to aid in building a better life for the children.

Iona Scott

Iona Scott is a multimedia artist known for her Plankton Light Sculptures, originally inspired by the Discosphaera Tubifera, a type of single-celled marine microplant – or phytoplankton. The works aim to stimulate a closer connection with the incredible tiny lifeforms, invisible to the human eye yet responsible for producing approximately 50% of the oxygen on our planet.

The sculptures have been recreated in a variety of materials, ultimately resulting in the signature geometric form of the one-million-times-magnified 6ft 'discosphaera' as a colour-changing light sculpture. Through QR code technology, this 3D form becomes a physical reference to another dimension, represented in animations, immersive and interactive technologies, that create a seamless and mesmerising journey from our world, through the threshold into the submarine realm.

Scott’s work has recently been installed as a permanent exhibit at The Deep aquarium in Kingston-Upon-Hull and has been shown at Brighton Beach House, part of the Soho House group in Brighton, Micropia Museum at ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, The Marine Display at The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, Brighton Digital Festival, Glastonbury Festival and Burning Man, amongst others.

Margaret Bernard

I created this print using a lino and tracing an image onto the lino. Cutting out the image. I applied ink using a roller. The ink was mixed on a white tile, using a spatula. Applying the roller to the ink,placing the roller over the lino cut. Placing card over the inked

Lino cut. Applying pressure to the clean side of the paper.Using to the roller to press ink into the paper.This is the print I created.

This print represents my reflection on the changes to myself on a journey as a female artist. The faces reflect the impact of the Silence that I feel within society, due to Covid. But it also shows hope, love creation, wisdom. I created this print for my dipoma for level 2 UAL as part of a project in August 2022.

It represents my inner thoughts, about the way society was unable to breathe having wear masks. The constructions which had been imposed. But despite the situation. There is a constant flow of energy which I feel is projected in my print.

Theresa Walsh

Theresa Patterson was born in Guyana, South America. She is of multi-ethnic heritage, with Portuguese, black, Amerindian as part of her ancestry. She left Guyana at 18 years to come to the UK to do nursing.

She has been working as an artist since 1996 after experiencing challenging difficulties. Her artwork assisted her greatly in dealing with these challenges.

Her early childhood days were a time of great freedom, spending time roaming the countryside and observing nature. Her life has been enriched with being close to birds and animals and nature. This passionate love of nature has continued to be a vital part of her life here in the UK. She lived many years in Sussex and loved spending time roaming the countryside. Guyana is defined by its dense and pristine rain forest, with calypso and soca music as part of its culture which has greatly enriched her life.

Most of her artwork is about raising awareness to the vital conservation of the planet’s rainforests.
She says the people, are at the epicentre of conservation. People living in rainforests can be assisted with making a living using sustainable methods. Given time and space, the destruction can bounce back.

She is an avid writer of poetry. For her, her artwork and poetry are intrinsically linked, although she sometimes writes poetry about other matters not linked to artwork. Most of the time, the artwork inspires her to write poems about everyday life and subject matters which concerns her and others.

Jane Thomas

Jane’s art explores the interior and exterior landscape. Her paintings are often about nature, connection and, most of all, love – in all its different forms, guises, and disguises. Jane uses her art as a language that transcends as well as embodies the everyday.

Jane’s work conveys what she sees and thinks and feels, as a woman – sometimes from her own experiences; sometimes from her imagination. Usually, her work is multi-layered and somewhat metaphysical/ surreal in its composition and the concepts that underpin, consciously, or unconsciously, what she does.

When painting, Jane often uses mixed media and enjoys experimenting with texture and shading to create an overall feeling or impression. She also believes that colour has extraordinary emotional power, and can be used subtly or more overtly to communicate a mood or sensibility.

Jane is a recipient of a Cambridge Art Award, and she was runner-up in the Cambridge Open Art competition. She is also a singer/ songwriter, poet and writer.

Sarah Sparks

Sarah Sparkes is a London based artist and curator.

Karina Ray

Karina is a bodywork and dance therapist, photographer and artist.

In her latest work she explores the fascinating world of the structural building blocks and mathematical framework that lay behind universal forms, expressed through circles, triangles, squares and spirals in complex combinations.

Sacred Geometry has been described as blueprint of the genesis, envisaging structures through which the energy of creation organises itself.

Enthusiastic about wellbeing and harmony, Karina loves to be in a state of deep awe at the beauty of forms and patterns nature provides. Sacred geometric structures and the mathematics behind them reveal the nature of life forms and their vibrational resonance - in motion, and always striving towards the golden ratio. Meditating on a Yantra or Mandala may give the viewer / perceiver a sense of oneness with universal life forms, realising the interconnectedness of living things in the universe. This can be a harmonising and healing experience.

Mathematical relationships express connection of heaven and earth, as the physical to the Higher self. Today, self-awareness is particularly important, the deep exploration of who we are, and how we can raise our vibration in order to evolve individually and hence collectively on the soul level.

Each mantra symbolises a specific energy vibration, and can be used in meditation and healing for harmonising, focus and re-balancing.

Beverley-Jane Stewart

I am a visual storyteller and have been researching Jewish heritage and synagogues for many years. My initial interest was focused on the female perspective viewing the prayer scene from above as depicted in many of my paintings.

During the past five years I have exhibited extensively in the UK and abroad, and participated in the last three Jerusalem Biennale’s for contemporary art amongst other projects.

In my art, I explore the theme of public and private space, within the synagogue and secular surroundings, illustrating the story of social history.

Reflections on the recent lockdowns, the Isolation, the sad closure of synagogues, and the lack of communal connection, lead me to

Contemplate the spiritual beyond the physical, and the need to survive.

The Title of this series is ‘Beyond the Ashes’ and it is about renewal and the building of hope for the future. Influenced by my visits to Romania, I became aware of disused and abandoned synagogues left by their communities due to the Holocaust and earlier antisemitism. That led me, later, to expand my research, exploring initially other eastern Europe synagogues. More recently, after Covid, my thoughts focused on other faiths who too have suffered destruction in the middle east and northern Africa. As a Jew, I felt empathy with other communities who had experienced similar fates.

This series of etchings has been created from shiny zinc plates. Their beauty too, as per the synagogues, has been physically destroyed by corroding the metals with acids. Hovering amongst the fragile shadows of these dilapidated buildings are historical and spiritual memories.

Margaret Jennings

Having been nominated as a finalist for a UK Environmental and Sustainability Award

deep concern arose as to how to attend the specially arranged final selection night.

The nomination had been based on socially engaged interactive eco artwork crucially questioning our everyday habits and relationship with consumer waste or rubbish, entitled ‘The Living Taking and Giving Back Library’. This Library displayed found discarded materials and offered the opportunity to re-appropriate objects for alternative practical recycled uses.

The decision to incorporate this ecoart work directly into the experience of attending the award event has been actualized by the use of ‘throw away’ collected plastic bags, color coordinated into heat pressed sheets cutout into a dress pattern, with the offcuts for bag and hair accessories

Fundamentally, arising from this experience, questions focus on ways artists can ensure they authenticate their artwork, making it meaningful and ‘real’. Here by creating a rubbish dress, worn with courage, to receive a Sustainability Award.

TAll About The ink

Shaky Kane

Bathed in the cathode ray thrum of 1960’s television, Shaky Kane nurtured a deep love for Americana, in particular the four-colour comic books, displayed wedged into the spinner racks of British newsagents.

A gifted mimic, Shaky attempted to reproduce the comic book drawings, at home on a cheap drawing pad, using the most basic of draftsman's tools.

Inspired by the DIY ethic of the early Punk movement, Shaky contributed to the burgeoning small press scene before finding a regular spot drawing for British music paper The NME.

Shaky’s work found a home in most of the popular British comic strip publications during the late 1980s to the early 1990s, including Deadline, Revolver, Judge Dredd the Megazine, and 2000 AD.

Returning to comics in 2010, Shaky collaborated with writer David Hine on the highly acclaimed Bulletproof Coffin series for Image Comics.

Finding a new readership and a reappraisal of his art, brought about by the growth of online communications, Shaky has produced artwork for whole slew of comic books.

Including-

Bulletproof Coffin Disinterred, Cowboys and Insects (David Hine), Elephant Men, The Beef (Richard Starkings) Last Driver (Chris Baker), That’s Because You’re a Robot (David Quantick), Cap’n Dinosaur (Kek-W), Weird Work (Jordan Thomas) and teamed up with Vice magazine regular, Krent Able, on the oversized anthology Kane and Able.

True to his early artistic inspirations and following a career path most right-minded people might shy away from, Shaky continues drawing for independent publication to this day, and is regularly published on both sides of the Atlantic.

Sarah Gordon

Sarah Gordon wants you to know you are going to die.

So is she, in fact, and is quite annoyed about this unavoidable, irritating, universal truth. A lot of her recent work has been preoccupied with exploring this fact (she draws a lot of skeletons), as well as the numerous indignities and consolations of being conscious in the meantime. Remember that you are going to die, so that you do not forget to live.

Besides an overarching meta theme of mortality, Sarah’s work currently tends toward motifs of nature, ritual, the dark-divine-feminine, and the inherent horror and humour within folk and folklore.

Although her practice is cross-media, she tends towards using physical mediums over digital for the majority of her work, and regularly returns to the simplicity of ink and brush on paper, finding the tactile method of working lends an emotional immediacy to her work that tends to escape when working with digital tools.

Sarah’s work has been called ‘disturbing’ by The Observer (a sunday newspaper), ‘essential indie comics’ by Kieron Gillen (a writer), and Andy Oliver of Broken Frontier (a critic) declared her work foundational in a new comic sub-genre: ‘graphic melancholy’.

Rachael Ball

Rachael Ball has been a cartoonist/ illustrator since 1988 when she started cartooning for cult comic Deadline. Her first graphic novel, ‘The Inflatable Woman’ (Bloomsbury), was one of the Guardian’s Best Graphic Novels 2015 and one of Paul Gravett’s Top 10 Graphic Novels, 2015. She received ACE funding for her second graphic novel,Wolf, (pub’ SelfMadeHero 2018,) and more recently for her current graphic novel in progress ‘The Patsy Papers.’ She is a graphic novel mentor and teaches graphic novel courses at the Quentin Blake Centre Of Illustration, the City Lit. And has also taught workshops/courses at Cambridge, Manchester and Nottingham University, UCL, Anglia Ruskin and the Arvon. She also teaches a Design a Children’s Picture Book at the Art Academy.

She is also one of the London coordinators for LDComics, a forum that seeks to promote female cartoonists.

Paul Jon Milne

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and my earliest memories are of being a creative.

My palette presents an expressive use of bold colours, that intuitively cross over into my own aesthetic language. I am inspired by people who fight for human rights.

My oeuvre includes videos, sound, installation, performance, poetry, paintings, portraits, using storytelling, incorporating hybrid photography and digital collages.

My work is in a number of collections including ‘The Walkie Talkies’ supported by Arts Council, housed at The London Transport Museum, which is the first piece of disability Art history they own.

In Summer 2022, I had a residency at the ‘House of Annetta’ in Spitalfields, supported by Assemble winners of the Turner prize.

I studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and Hochschule für Bildende Künste Städelschule, in Frankfurt.

I live and work in London and exhibit internationally.

Rob Buchan

“Rob Buchan is a London-based, cartoonist and illustrator. Described as “subnormal” by an art teacher at school, he is still on the path to prove him wrong.

The world of cartoons offers a new window to those who struggled with ‘still life’ and even in their 50s still cannot draw a horse.

Rob enjoys working with ink and paint, but has generally avoided graphic novels or long cartoon strips due to problems with drawing the same thing twice.

After spending several decades in the bar/restaurant business and a brief foray into the world of tech Rob now draws fulltime (in the very broadest sense)

Rob has worked for several publications in the UK and Brazil, as well as much commission work and some rather rude Christmas cards. He is currently working on some paintings/children’s books/framing stuff, as well as a few rather strange and silly inventions.

He hopes you enjoy the artwork.”

Robert Miller

Robert Miller

19.02.1989 - 15.02.2010

Robert was born on the 19th of February 1989 in London, and it was obvious from early on that a very special, unfathomable gift was given to us.

His esoteric vision of the world was manifested from an early age and he expressed it through his drawings from the age of 3, and later through other art forms; animation, writing, music, and painting. He played saxophone and guitar and spoke French and learned the western version of the Japanese alphabet.

But drawing and 'cartooning' was his real passion and by the age of 6 he became a 'member of The Cartoon Museum Club in London and attended and helped with many workshops held there. Today they keep Robert's book in their Library

Robert got a reward for his first 5-minute animated clip when he was 6 years old, and later many of his drawings and animations were entered into local and national competitions and he won some. While at University he won a Scholarship to study the Art of animation and film Directing at the prestigious 'VanArts Institute” in Canada.

He felt the world around him very deeply and very tenderly.

Permaculture Artist Lola Godoy UK/Chile. Co-Creatress expanding the universe following my heart with permaculture and art, the practice of People Care, Earth Care and Fair Share. Always working towards Noosphere or New Earth consciousness. My artwork lies between nature, beauty and consciousness. I exist .......

Continuing from The Love Alliance Video https://express.adobe.com/video/wwtPzk4Z7KRc8this New Earth Frequently Activation is my arting that the great volcano Osorno in the South of Chile inspired me to share. When it was reaveald that I was arting for the secret plan and that the new Earth was already here.

Land art, seen in this exhibition'These Momentous Times', became an experiment to regenerate and create soil by giving nature a helping hand and arranging the dry twigs under stones, pine cones and crystals found on site. Creating habitat for small creature to move in and do their thing in making new Earth. So it was true and magical how it came to me to make this activation because our thoughts create our reality.

Reality is a continuous emanation of the souls unfolding experience grounded in joy.

Mary Dickinson

Mary's career has been creating picture books, and telling stories to young children. Her work often involved encouraging them to create their own stories using text, illustration and paper technology.

Like a story a print can be varied in so many ways. Most of her relief prints are mono prints of the same image but using layers of print and Chine Colle to make them all different.

Mary's love of experimental side of printing, for her it is just the same as writing a story. 'When you start work you have no idea of where you will end up'. Print disasters are valuable. 'Not only as a learning aid but to balance the joy when things turn out better than expected.

Bad days are consoled by the fact that they will make the best stories, and possibly create the best ideas'.

Niki Bayard

Niki Bayard studied in the theatre department at Wimbledon School of Art and spent the next ten years painting, sculpting, model-making and dressing film sets. London born, she escaped to the water lapped shores of Brighton, East Sussex just a few years back. Here we found her quietly writing poetry and loudly performing the spoken word. She creates a space for people to take a breath, the pause before the applause. Niki also likes turning her talents to script writing and is

part of the team that won best comedy 2022 at a Los Angeles film festival.

Lindsay Pickett

My work explores the themes of animal hybrids caused by either genetic engineering, forced or natural evolution and also I have looked at alien animal wildlife. Themes I have recently explored are what living creatures and wildlife may look like on other worlds. I have also looked at the idea of ‘social rejection and absence’ where the very notion of something that is classed as ‘different’ is soon rejected in both the human world and in the animal kingdom. I am also exploring social exclusion. Indeed, when one animal is different from this rest, it is literally almost rejected straight away by the group or family that it is supposed to belong to. When this happens even amongst humans, there can be devastating consequences for the one that is abandoned. The rejected creature can also start to behave in a manner that is not classed as socially acceptable as is with humans.

I am trying to communicate the idea of being the social ‘outcast’, what it feels like to be an ‘outsider’. Such as it is in the animal kingdom. The mother rejects it and then so does its siblings. Such coldness in the animal world is also sadly reciprocated here in the world of human beings.

Lucy Apple

I graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2007 with a Masters degree in painting, having previously studied for a BA in Fine Art at Falmouth College of Art. On completion of my studies in London, I moved back to Cornwall where I create figurative paintings on board canvas. I work with diluted acrylics, adding texture with watercolour, collage, pencils and pens.

I work from home in Falmouth, sitting at a low table to produce my work. My sitting room wall is covered in photographs of my friends and family, memories of the great times I had at Falmouth College of Art and the laughs I share with my nephew. These help me to produce work. There are sad photographs too, of people who are no longer here.

I often sit for days staring at my blank pages of my sketchbook without and inspiration for my next painting, but eventually, slowly, things begin to take shape and a scene forms in my head and then I begin to sketch. Inspiration comes from many places, but usually from everyday moments and observations. It could be something I overhear in a shop, a detail from nature I’ve glimpsed, or something a friend has said to me that made me laugh. I start with a sketch and then I draw it out in pencil on card or board canvas. Then I add the details using pencils and pens.

The medium I use is diluted acrylics, adding texture with watercolour pencils on canvas and board. I like the transparency of the paints when they are watered down so you can see the original pencil drawing. I have also started to introduce collage and texture into my work. To my eye, this creates an interesting sense of detail, that I can’t achieve with paint alone. At the moment I enjoy using collage, ripping the colours out of old gardening magazines that my mother gives me. I separate the ripped pieces of paper into colours and then I start cutting them up to use in my work. I use PVA to stick the bits down. I like to get messy!Lucy Apple

Neil Scott Randall

Neil Scott Randall studied Biology, Geography and Art at A Level followed by a Fine Art Degree at Camberwell, where his work reflected these subjects. In the 1990's he made installations for clubs, bars and festivals based on natural themes, underwater seascapes and stone circles. He was influenced by Chaos Theory exploring patterns in nature, and the advent of photoshop enabled him to produce kaleidoscopic montages of trees. In 2006 he was involved with the refurbishment of the O2 building, fabricating stone, marble and brickwork. He then spent ten years in the prop making industry creating window displays for shops such as Harrods, Hamleys and Selfridges. His latest work combines Art with his love of plants to produce plantscapes reminiscent of Bonsai and Kokedama.

Deborella Shaw

From an early age Deborella Shaw loved painting as a means to represent her own fantasies, desires and dreams. She studied to be an architect to which she later became chartered. During this time however, her passion and enthusiasm for art was always present. She autodidactically trained by way of books, gallery visits, exchanges with other artists and of course the most important which is personal experiences. The contents of her images are determined by her fantasies, life perceptions, love of the environment and spirituality. Inspired by American Abstract Impressionists, she paints abstract planes in bold earthy tones to visualise the transitoriness and decay of life, the necessary conditions for the emergence of something new through colour, energy and texture to bestows power and depth. The organic mixed with marble dust often archaic looking patterns. She believes that art reveals an expression which starts where words are inadequate and the camera cannot adequately apprehend. The work represents primordial feelings controlled by reason - finally showing something organic in a tidy ambience. Besides monochrome she likes using warm earthy colours (acrylics, pigments, marble dust) in different layers smoothed over in rough archaic patterns. Earlier work was invoking the symbol of the witch, the goddess of menstrual and female power. Likened to a witch which by nature are subversive they don't subscribe to popular modes of behaviour and are regarded as outsiders. Medusa was hand-drawn, Gouache painted and printed on aluminium which allowed the light to permeate through her snake hair and notorious stare.

Hyder Habib

Hyder Habib is an artist, photographer and musician based in London. He has created hundreds of photographs and illustrations using chiaroscuro - a technique that emphasises a stark contrast between shadow and light.

In his 40s, without knowing how to draw or paint, he studied anatomy and representational art for four years. After hundreds of failed attempts at drawing, he almost quit. However, his teachers and colleagues assured him that desirable results will only come from an extensive number of hours of practice. This motivated him to draw in his sketchbook everywhere he went. Soon he was able to see abstract shapes within portraits, still life and models.

Hyder soon learned that the journey of training the eye to detect nuances, constantly refining hand-eye coordination, and producing realistic, representational works of art is as much a psychological process as it is a physical one. He came up with a formula that he lives by until this day:

persistence + attitude > gifts + talents

His qualifications include a BFA degree in Visual Communication, a BA in entrepreneurship, and a diploma from the London Atelier school of Representational Art (LARA).

In film, Hyder and his colleagues have won an award from the Last Frame Smart Phone Film Festival for best documentary short film.

Hyder is currently an arts and music contributor toward the Arts and Healing initiative at the London Clinic.

Aaron Barschak

A. Rona. Crabshak

is a self-styled shituationist,

transmuting situations into art,

that prompt the viewer to exclaim

“Shit!”

They have been doing this for 19 years

now and have acquired a boutique cult following.

Their work has been exhibited worldwide

and has garnered critical exclaim.

They have worked previously with the Prince of Wales, Ken Livingstone, and Sir Philip Green.

and have been cited by Professor John Carey in his seminal book “ What Good are The Arts?” as well as being an answer in Australian Trivial Pursuit.

So moved was District Judge Brian Loosely by their collaboration with the Chapman Brothers that he commented “It’s a serious offence and I have no other option other than to send you to prison,”

The TRIPtych “For Christ’s sake you’ve remixed it up” is part of Crabshak’s

Baroque’n’ roll period, and took 17 years to complete owing to the fact that Crabshak is a perfectionist and very lazy, and that he couldn’t find the framers. In the first panel Crabshak dragged a cross up the Via Dolorosa full of Oloroso, on Good Friday 2005. The second panel “Who eat all the Pietas?” shows Crabshak overdosed on homages.In the third panel homage is paid to Christ and the Moneychangers where Crabshak asks Sir Philip Green to lend them a fiver.

Crabshak live alone with their crabs

In a shack in Tower Hamlets, and smoke Hamlets.

They owe a lot to the

Buddhist formerly known as Charlie Pycraft ,

Lina Landers

I am currently working on autobiographical storytelling through my paintings and prints.

In some of the paintings I mix various aspects of my life story, breaking the timeline and mixing real events with memories and other imagery, and weave these different aspects together. I see these works as a series and once I have finished this series I will move on to other imagery. In this context storytelling is an important aspect of my visual art.

I studied at Central St Martins BA (Hons) and have an MA from Kingston University. I’m a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. I work in painting, writing, printmaking, performance, moving image and music.

I have shown my artwork at the RA Summer Exhibition. My films at Saatchi and Saatchi gum factory and performed my poetry at Tate Britain.

I’ve also spent 29 years creating hand-made limited-edition books, mostly based on William Blake’s writings, some of which were shown (and sold) at Tate Britain and Tate Britain shop.

I’m a member of the IAAA which is the International Association of Astronomical Artists and took part in the first Women in Space Art Virtual Gallery Exhibition this year.

Bob Parks

I did a self portrait and another portrait at the beginning of lockdown. My subject was from the Deep South of the USA and he's been to all of the big R&B soul reviews of the 60's. The life one of myself is part of a 6-painting work. It represents me working on my own creating an imaginary space that was contemplative and representing a new beginning in my figurative work - creativity and frustration (at not being able to pay due regard to the technical demands of completing the image). My anatomical knowledge was wanting...so it represented a reappraisal in terms of extending myself outside my comfort zone.

This reflects the loneliness as against the coming together of pairing as a process - a self portrait with another's portrait - two very different states. Because of this I feel it represent two positive aspects of lockdown - an opportunity to examine both coming together and isolated contemplation.

Star Gaze

Stargazeartist is a London-based multidisciplinary artist who is currently studying at the Slade School of Fine Art. Star is passionate about revitalising traditional crafts and has pioneered the technique of ‘reverse appliqué’, a process wherein different coloured fabrics are layered, sewn together and then cut into to reveal an image. Upon being invited to participate in ‘These Momentous Times’, Star was inspired to reflect on our collective experience of the pandemic and to contemplate the significance of being confronted with mortality at a global scale while living in isolation.

‘For me, reverse appliqué is a cycle of creation and destruction. Sewing layers of beautiful fabrics together, and then cutting, ripping, shredding and tearing them is an act of violence. In this way, the medium is uniquely suited to exploring the self-destructive nature of humanity: the corruption of innocence and the subjugation of minority groups. The process leaves room for hope however, and gradually images emerge from the violent making process of my work, reinstating the beauty of the fabrics. I hold the same hope for modern society: that from the extremism, anger, suspicion and hatred that was compounded by the lockdowns, beauty can emerge.’

This is Star’s debut gallery exhibition.

JOYCE Jocelyne Saunders-Diop

JOYCE Jocelyne Saunders-Diop, I have been an artist since four, whilst my mother, from Norway, was completing seven years of study in Painting at the Beaux-Arts Academy of Paris. My paternal grandmother and great-grandmother themselves completed Masters’ degrees in Fine-Art Painting, and Violin practice in Texas USA. Born in France, I have been a Londoner for most of my life.

I like to constantly innovate, somewhat like my father, an inventor and a script-writer in L.A, and surprise myself with new discoveries in form and content, sometimes wanting to bring back to life unwanted and discarded material, found or gifted, cherishing all the abundance this Earth provides and distraught by the waste and abuse we inflict upon it, our environment, and often, our fellow sentient beings.

I have focused my creative arts’ brand and logo, JOYCE, in capital underlined letters, with a circle for the dot on the “J”, around the colour yellow, since the mid-2000s, endeavouring to share optimism in a world we are made to believe is ugly and unforgiving. As my parents made me when I grew up, I myself become an artwork or even self-directed actress at times, especially when representing my art practice.

Multidisciplinary, I mostly paint, draw, write, create installations and short films, as well as my own fashion and digital designs.

Tim Flitcroft

Dr Franchu here (aka The Serpent) I have been asked (again) to say a few words about the ‘Artist’ Timothy Flitcroft. One thing I should get straight right away, I am the one with ideas and the ‘Artist’ is the puppet. He just does the technical stuff to make me physically manifest. He gets it totally wrong of course and thinks I am the puppet – laughable really.

OK it’s true Flitcroft went to a St Martin’s something or other to do Fine Art and they stuffed his head with a lot of foolish ideas – which he was grateful for, poor sap! Otherwise he has been a Jack of All Trades (aka Renaissance Man) having studied Philosophy and History at York then Music at Dartington but I’d say he is just a Perennial Student. Along the way he played in groups, wrote music for dance, theatre and film and later making films himself. He was in Area10 and many other non-spaces curating shows, making work and performing etc. All an escape from his true calling to Know Himself. Unfortunately, he never succeeded in this so I am having to jump in and give him the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. It’s a Serpent’s life.

THESE MOMENTOUS TIMES

Lorenzo Belenguer

Lorenzo Belenguer is a nonbinary visual artist and arts writer based in London and Valencia strongly influenced by Minimalism and Arte Povera.

Belenguer's practice as an artist is constantly focused into the reclaiming: be it objects like discarded rusted metal into the gallery spaces and copies of traditional European paintings as symbols of imperial power in a postcolonial era. Also into the reclaiming the place of humans into the natural ecosystem as ancient cultures perfectly knew. He is a member of the Gallery Climate Coalition. Previously, Belenguer ran a community art gallery In London for seven years and a project for London 2012 called Testimonies. He supports the power of the Arts to communicate ways to move into a more compassionate and loving society as we are witnessing in the current pandemic.

He exhibited and performed at The Serpentine Galleries, TATE Modern and at the 57th Venice Biennale. The UCL Art Historian Susie Hodge included him as a representative of the Neo-Geometric Conceptualism (Neo-Geo) Movement alongside Jeff Koons and Ashley Bickerton in her latest book. Belenguer's works has been featured in the national media in Spain, Germany, Italy and the UK such as The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Artforum and The Art Newspaper.

Belenguer holds an MA in Artificial Intelligence & Philosophy by the New College of the Humanities in London, and a BA (Hons) in Economics and Business Science by the University of Valencia, Spain.

Gina Nembhard

Gina Nembhard has spent a number of years involved in art and design projects both practicing and assisting artists.

Initially Gina developed her mixed media work and fine art textiles embroidery and later whilst studying, worked in a London based all-female architecture practice (A.T.A.P.).

Later her studies in sustainable product design led her to develop a business practice combining both art and craft workshops, focusing on a broad range of making including upholstery, textiles, stitch and dyeing.

Within her work she tries to maintain a consistently sustainable perspective.

As a member of X Marks the Spot, a collective of women practitioners and artists initially formed, whilst in residency at Studio Voltaire. Gina has been involved in a number of talks, workshops and residencies on the subject of artists and archives

I often work with materials and processes that are associated with craft based activities and historically have been associated with women and domestic based labour. These activities and mediums have also generally not been seen as having artistic merit and still today struggle to be recognised in the artistic world.

In previous pieces of work I have explored indigo dyeing processes and stitch techniques.

Rob Buchan

Born 1968 Rob Buchan grew up on a farm in Aberdeenshire. Drawing from an early age and seemingly unable to copy anything that actually existed he was quickly drawn to cartooning and the imagined. Inspired by lockdown and a burglary during building works that left his walls empty he took the leap into contemporary art. Using a very mixed media of objects and materials that were to hand during the pandemic he embarked on larger framed pieces. Always with a humorous slant his works incorporates elements of cartooning alongside darker themes.

He has written and illustrated for cards, books and magazines in both the UK and Brazil as well as 20 years as a restauranteur and bar owner and 10 years of getting confused in the tech sector. Now a London based cartoonist and illustrator he has travelled extensively and his ‘Happy Place’ is definitely drawing cartoons with sand between his toes in a beach bar somewhere warm.

Rob hopes to continue working on bigger projects while still devoting a large portion of his time to drawing pirates and experimenting with bringing humour and a bit of weirdness to the world of education and children books.

Russell C Brennan

Paulo Dac

My practises investigate the interrelationships between abstraction and figuration and seeks to give expression to the unfamiliar and unseen inner and outer worlds. The multidisciplinary process is centred on developing an awareness and an wholistic approach.

David Hughes

David Hughes, our resident Texan, claims that his drawings “are just doodles”. These fine pen and ink sketches are a kaleidoscope of his imaginings and a venture into the wild and fantastic mind of a skilled artisan. His grandfather (a geologist) encouraged his love of nature, he studied architectural design and spent many happy hours in mechanical drawing classes. As a naval seaman, he is widely travelled and at heart a devout Californian. Inspiration to create these wonderous environments, comes from fleeting memories and where space and time blends with nature. Just as at home working in monochrome, his coloured creations lead us into further dimensions. Mystical bookmarks (making superb gifts) are available upon request and when have you ever heard of the artist himself being gifted with a mug with his own work printed on it?! You heard this here first!

George Perendia

After an early start in late 70’s as a conceptual artist George undertook training at two art colleges gaining a degree in Fine Art, a MSc in Computer Graphics in modelling of Cubist art style and had several solo and participated in many group shows in Europe and the UK. George has been artist and exhibiting variety of art works including his works inspired by contemporary music ever since his early, conceptual works based on the premiere performance of "Einstein on the Beach" by Phillip Glass (as composer) and Robert Wilson (as director) in 1976.

Robert Miller

19.02.1989 - 15.02.2010

Robert was born on the 19th of February 1989 in London, and in an instant, so much Love, Light, Grace and Magic entered our lives!

He was educated in Private Schools until the age of 10 and after that joined the Bousfield School in little Boltons in London, and later East Sheen International Language School and Richmond College.

Academic and exceptionally gifted in many areas, he always wanted to go into Film Directing and decided to get into it through Animation, the art he enormously enjoyed and showed a talent for from the age of 4. He got a reward for his first 5-minute animated clip by the age of 5. Later many of his drawings and animations were entered into local and national competitions and he won some.

Robert was one of the 30 students/national and international/ to gain the place for the first in the world BA Course in 3D computer animation, at Bournemouth University - leading in that field internationally...

However, his talents and capabilities soon surpassed the teaching that this course had to offer, and in 2009 he has won a Scholarship to study the Art of animation and film Directing at the prestigious 'VanArts' Institute in Canada.

In 2010 he passed tragically, 4 days before his 21st Birthday and 2 months before he was due to join the VanArs Institute in Canada.

Robert was the seeker of Beauty and Truth through Honour, Humour and Courage.

Margaret Jennings

Margaret Jennings Ecoart activist practice offers socially engaged, participative and community oriented eco stimuli

focused on positive creative ways forward.related to climate emergency deep concerns.

This is linked to UN Goals covering Life in Cities, Education, Wellbeing and Climate Change.

Motivated by increased urban population density, and the ongoing actual and threatened loss of greenspace,

the work encourages proactive curiosity-driven discovery methods.

Critical questions arise such as linking necessary physiological shift, consumer mindset and decolonisation of nature,

and resensitising to nature with making connections of human DNA to eco-intelligences beyond our own.

Various multimedia, including photographic eco-observations and film screenings encourage participant's movement

towards eco-lens curiosity in what might otherwise be taken for granted or passed by urbanside environments..

This process has been developed to discover creative proactive and empowering ways forward in the face

of predicted uncertain climatic future.

Some examples of environmental and sustainable artworks include; 'The Living Taking and Giving Back Library',

'Bin It' 'Flow Research Life Findings', 'Feelings About War' ''The Back Side of Waste' , 'Launching Points '.

These are found on Goldsmiths University Website and Deptford X Fringe since 2015 until the present day.

Matt Collier

At age 5 my body and I flew to New Mexico to meet my mum there, to spend a supposedly illegal 6 years. The potential of my young self & its body had crossed borders for the first time. We were poor but I was fully fledged feral and happy, I mingled with animals- many were real, before we fell into a winter of southern England. My body was always there with me. Got a taste for heavy music before lightening up, find a balance, compartmentalise. After school I travelled a couple years solidly across other countries; always learning through drawing. I came back with a thirst for knowledge via the eyes first, I studied art BA in London as I was still a non-critically minded hippy artist and knew it could go far deeper. All this was burned. Then an MFA in Glasgow, where once I cast human organs in the Hunterian museum but really concentrated on layers & layers of new ideas within drawing: line upon line of the botanical, the muscles, organs & our internal network of its forces and flows. I married/had a genetic mutation/divorced/dog-daughter; all in friendship. I travelled again on land from Brazil to Colombia, the México to Canada slowly while making the 'Sketchbook Murals'. My body was always there (*art & the self/ego). While learning the art of diabetic retinopathy, currently a few days a week helping patients with their eyes in heart of London (*helping patients = less self/ego).

Anya Jones

Born in London, to Indian and Dutch parents, growing up in Brasil and Portugal, Anya is a classically trained contemporary fine artist based in London. After a career in IT telecommunications and becoming a mother, Anya pursued her childhood passion of painting and drawing graduating from London Atelier London Atelier of Representational Art in 2017 following an Art Foundation.

Anya’s multicultural childhood heritage can be felt, a Dutch love of classical art, how light falls and an Indian mystical quest. There is a desire to delve deeper into who we are, explore the light and dark side of humanity within a greater universal context.

The pandemic intensified this desire, bringing feelings of isolation, mortality and the need for hope to the forefront. In her most recent work, surreal roses, larger than life, in stages from birth to death, symbolise pain, loss, joy, growth and ultimately hope. Set in landscapes, real or imaginary, representing the wider universe, beautiful, vast and the unknown, lending a mysterious etherial quality to Anya’s work.

Observation plays a key part in Anya’s oil paintings, triggering her inner world, imagination and unconscious. The intuitive process becomes paramount “I follow the flow and take the painting wherever it wishes to go”.

Paul Friedlander

Paul Friedlander grew up in Cambridge where his father was a mathematician in the same department as Stephen Hawking. His mother was a locally known artist and ceramicist. His original intention was to become a cosmologist. He took a degree at Sussex University in physics where his personal tutor was Anthony Leggett, who later received the Nobel Prize.

A single day in 1970 was to change his life: a visit to the Hayward Gallery in London to see the Kinetics Exhibition. He did not give up his studies in physics but began to create kinetic art in his spare time. After graduating from Sussex he went on to study Fine Art at Exeter College of Art and initially into a career in stage lighting. He specialised in avant-garde music and lit amongst others Morton Subotnick and Terry Riley. After attending Art Transition '90 at MITs Institute for Advanced Visual Studies, he decided to switch career to focus entirely on art.

He is best known for his discovery of a remarkable waveform: kinetic art that is a hybrid of harmonic and chaotic patterns. He has made these from desktop sized up to monumental pieces more than 10 metres tall.

He has been the recipient of a number of prizes and awards starting at ARTEC, Japan in 1995. Most recently the first ATA Grant, a research and artistic production in 2016. He has exhibited widely in many countries around the World. He works from his studio home in London and has three children, all grown up.

Iona Scott

Iona Scott is a multimedia artist based in Brighton, UK. She is well known for her Plankton Light Sculptures, inspired by the Discosphaera Tubifera, a type of single-celled marine microplant – or phytoplankton. The works aim to stimulate a closer connection with the incredible tiny lifeforms, invisible to the human eye and yet responsible for producing approximately 50% of the oxygen on our planet. Through visual and sensory experiences, Scott hopes to raise awareness about the importance of phytoplankton, using the light sculptures to create a seamless and mesmerising journey from our world, through the threshold into the submarine realm.

Originally created using metal and fibreglass, the sculptures have been recreated in a variety of materials, including paper. For more than twenty years, Scott has continued to develop the skills and disciplines of sculpture and stereoscopic 3D animation. This has ultimately resulted in the signature geometric form of the one-million-times-magnified 6ft 'discosphaera' sculpture, as a colour-changing light sculpture linked to a virtual representation of the invisible world they inhabit. In this way, the 3D form is a physical reference to another dimension, represented in animations, immersive and interactive technologies.

As an artist and animator, she fuses elements of art and technology through exhibitions and collaborations in a variety of locations, with recent presentations ranging from Micropia Museum at ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew to Brighton Digital Festival, Glastonbury Festival and Burning Man, alongside a variety of gigs, symposiums and outdoor urban environments.

Curtis Donovan

Curtis, a visual artist, community engager, clothing customizer and graffiti writer. He studied Interior architecture at first and went on to do an MA in environmental design at Goldsmiths. It is in these studies where he began to examine the role of community in design and visual culture.

His work is the expression of a vast network of human experiences culminating in the form of urba-natrual monumental forms. Curtis is driven to visualise experiences from a place we often struggle to observe through an abstract dialogue between graffiti and architecture. Each mark forming an energetic conversation of expressive colours. Playfully deconstructing familiar formats from our collective past, finding paths and growing roots into another world.

D Kintsugi

The Artwork for this show was created using the concept and Art Direction from Rosey allowing me to represent visually These Momentous Times from Covid, Lockdown and Social Uncertainty to the crossing into more Utopian Times.

My Art is a collection of works inspired by Music, Etymology, Nature, Change, Rebirth Growth, Symbols and Symbolism, Kaleidoscopes and the World around us. The process begins with photographing flowers, plants, places and textures that are then put through a selection of Kaleidoscope filters and collaged together using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create New Worlds filled with The Strange, The Beautiful and The Different. Colour, Shape, Form, Texture, Depth, Fantasy, Beauty, Vibrancy, Glow, Soul, Joy, Light and Dark, Shadow and Illumination.

My works try to show the journey of change and manipulation to create something fresh, new, beautiful and exciting. This reflects the change and the possibilities within us all

Paul Friedlander

Like everyone else in the World, COVID brought changes for me, I took a pause, I stopped making art. A little while later, adjusted to working for myself and with no shows possible, I began a process of reflection. Some years ago, I had made some small experiments with engraving on acrylic. At the time I thought of these as little more than sketches or models. Perhaps with some new tech I could animate the forms or change the colours. Individual pieces are small, typically no more than half a metre high. Gradually a collection grew, they developed a stronger presence. I assembled a display in my studio, bringing together earlier pieces with recent works. The designs were created with software I wrote originally for video animation. I found there was a lot more in the software than I first realised. Many of the designs were made on flat pieces of material but they began to take on a three -dimensional presence.
