Sandy lloyd gained a BA in Fine Art and Sculpture. She has worked creatively in the Arts over the last 20 years and returned to her roots in abstract painting in 2002. She has been exhibiting over the last 5 years across London and Europe. Sandy developed a set of techniques; creating veils of transparent or dripped colour along with gestural brushwork, from which emerge hidden forms, details and fragments. She now takes this work and, by enlarging elements of it, brings new form and shape to the work. Through this technique she hopes to spark new emotions in the viewer, illustrating line and form with new detailed clarity.

Janis Howard's work combines surfaces with form and is concerned with the exploration of remembered places and experiences. She enjoys finding fragments, like ancient clay shards and common detritus. The ceramics include stoneware, black sculpting clay and porcelain. The ceramics are formed by rolling, coiling, throwing and press molding and have combined applications of slip, stains and glazes fired to 1280 degrees centigrade. Some works have been fired multiple times in order to achieve the desired effect.

Martin Farrow has worked in commercial design for over 25 years, having emerged from Art School in London in the early 80’s. Over the last 15 years he has been further exploring abstract painting combining video & mixed media, and the use of language particularly the quirks and idiosyncrasies of wordplay. Martin successfully completed an MA in fine art in 2008. In this show he fragments 26 previous paintings creating 2000 new individual works, which, when hung together, create a new single piece. He invites the viewer to collaborate with him in this enterprise of reinvention by purchasing pieces to both create their own work for themselves, and leave yet a further new form behind on the gallery wall.
