The Loading Dock

Through a strong use of stylised black and white graphics, the exhibition Those Who Wander Aren't Always Missing (J.R.Tolkien) captures a collection of themes and events surrounding ,the experiences me and my closest friends encountered late at night wandering around the city of Newcastle.

Release

Jessica Gaudry and Kim Ryan

The Long Room

We delve into the depths of our souls to unleash the inner-self. This is escapism, triggered by the powers of art and music. Here demonstrated is an abstract insight into the personalities lost, the identities concealed.
Through the tangents in our mind, we discover freedom and liberty in the release.
Jessica Gaudry and Kim Ryan

Made With Malice
Trine Deans, Kate Parker and Christian Kauter

The Pit


We three artists share an interest in paying homage to cherished childhood toys and familiar stories. This exhibition explores time and play through the use of sentimental objects. We have modified and created toys and referenced fairy tales and childhood experiences. We have explored the macabre aspects of being a child, as a way of understanding the adult world. Made With Malice pushes adults back into the realm of a childhood nightmare; and children into the nightmare of adulthood.
Trine Deans, Kate Parker and Christian Kauter

Botanica

The Locker Room

The garden is a hive of activity, constantly changing. For this collection of works on paper I have drawn inspiration from my garden - the creatures that inhabit it, and the flora that shapes it.

The Sweatshop
Lee Rooker

The Hoist

In the third year of my Fine Art degree I investigated how women  have been, and still are, exploited in sweatshops. This is slavery !   Large corporations exploit these women just so they can make a buck.
Many of my works have this same thread. I use dressmakers’ paper in my works because it relates to women and ‘women’s work’.  It also gives the impression of the flesh of the women oppressed.
