Dawn Brooks is a printmaker who employs a variety of media to achieve the finished print, including carborundum, dry-point and chine-collé printing, the plate is created as a painter might use a canvas, responding instinctively to marks as they are made using automatic drawing as a means of expressing ideas from the subconscious.
The notion of decay is central to Andrew Cheetham’s artwork. He is interested in change, from the documentary depiction of our declining Industrial Heritage, to the momentary collapse of a wave. Through close observation Andrew captures changes in atmosphere and light, drawing on both a personal and social relationship with his subject matter, objective yet intimate.
An interest in the history of the landscape led Tracy Himsworth to move studios in order to work in rural isolation in an attempt to fully explore the relationship between artist and nature. By choosing to work through physical contact, rather than pure observation, Tracy has developed an intimate understanding of the landscape. The documentation of this process is merely a record of the experience.
