A fleeting moment captured, as @PatrickStratton's joyously relatable kinetic work flips into action. Have you visited yet to catch the moment the toothpaste lands?

Entering Eden is a triptych depicting the temptations we face while journeying into the unknown. This is an autobiographical piece taken from my own lived experiences.

‘Blackthorn’, arises from the experience of being in a specific place at a particular point in time. It combines visual cues from two contrasting environments: an urban common in Portsmouth, and the River Eden in Cumbria.

My work combines weaving with mechanics to document micro social systems. Using systematized observation, I make pieces that try to highlight small human moments from a playful, existentialist viewpoint.

Bright Red by @martinnannestad is a visual story without a beginning or an end. It is an experiment with depths and diverse colour symphonies within one piece. It is built up by multiple rhythms of shapes and colour.

This sculptural work by @MaijaJadeFox seeks to provide a more expansive and complacent experience of the world. To think about what can be learnt from the things that exist around us, what they can tell and teach us.
