Lucy Bainbridge
My works are quiet reflections of the brief and changing images that we pass by everyday. By bringing these momentary glimpses into focus, there is a feeling that one is pausing the instantaneity of city life.
Helen Bridges
When elements are taken out of their context - be it a building, an object, a drawing, a memory, a dream or a recorded moment they take on a whole new meaning. They draw attention to themselves and prompt a thought process - an inquisitiveness to the viewer. Some may be recognised or evoke a memory or an association. If nothing else it creates an awareness of what usually is considered to be a mundane thing. When you remember something your brain dips in and out of jumbled thoughts, trying to put them in a coherent order. I like to put images together in this manner... a little bit of something next to part of something else. It tends to create playful visual maps that meander through recognisable elements, symbols and signs, poetic narrative and surreal objects displaced from their context. I continually record surroundings with collections of photographs, drawings and writing. I collect and process later, always sourcing inspiration from everyday occurrences.

I design and handcraft a range of seating and installations, for both outside and in, all work which is produced from sustainably sourced wood and other organic matter which allows me to evoke responses to the natural environment. I aim to bring people closer to nature and bring nature closer to home. I also produce a small range of soft furnishings and fine art texiles. Commissions welcome.

I change public spaces...Sometimes it's only the walls…trailing over ceilings…
Mostly...I change whole places...
I work with people to find how they'd like their space to feel...We create imagery to show their ideas...
I add colour... warmth ...visuals to feed the imagination...
creating journeys that didn't exist before...
using art to produce an identity and connection within spaces that sometimes appear completely detached from their inhabitants...
I want to show that an environment is cared for...and,
in turn...that this care extends to the people within it.

I mostly do street installations. I’m currently working in 3D and printing posters. My work is the result of a mix of interests from graffiti, characters, comic books and illustration to fashion, advertising, design, logos and brand identity.
Hemuss
Whether canvas, paper or screenprint, it's Bold figures and splashes of colour that makes a Hemuss picture. Paint spreading, splashing, splodging and essentially alot of people milling around doing something ... anything. It's about looking for the individual within the crowd ... that and making something nice to hang on your wall
