An art show by recent London graduates...

Azhar Duhovich:

My current output consists of
confessional, light-based works
in which I confront my recent string of head-fucking relationships.

Using light directly, in the form of light bulbs, fairy lights and halogen tubes, I am attempting to convey the sense of hope, fun, brightness, and lust which tends to precede and accompany the beginning of intimate relationships. And the lingering, glowing memories (the image burnt in the retina of the brain) retained once the relationship has died, as the bad things are forgotten.

James Emmerson:

My work currently explores the
story-telling possibilities of objects.

The materials I use are chosen for both their familiarity and my own sense of correctness. By bringing together a series of objects in a particular way I hope to tease out the associations they hold, enabling the viewer the freedom to explore the communicative possibilities of these hybrid objects.

Joe Graham:

My paintings are simple observations of people, places, and unusual things
that interest me on a daily basis.

They are often quick and fluid in execution, and there are few, if any, links in the subject matter between the paintings. This reflects the fact that the observations I make are often only of interest to me at the time at which I made them.

Rosanna Greaves:

For this exhibition I created a sound piece that explores
constructions of the
presence of a
person
in the imagination(s) of the audience, through characterizations in literature.

I have done this through working with and extracting from the classic novel 'Rebecca' by Daphne Du Maurier and its modern retelling 'The Other Rebecca' by Maureen Freely. In a wider sense my general practice is dominated by my bringing together audience interaction and the word. The way in which this works is as an interaction that takes place through the space for identity in both receiving and delivering words.

It is the nature of language that its use and promise of being communicative holds within it holes, spaces for misinterpretation or multi-interpretations. These holes allow for the imagination of the reader:listener, writer:re-writer:speaker to construct subjective narrative threads that they string through the openings of the text.

Charlie Waller:

The work consists mainly of
walking and drawing.

Both activities are carried out in extremes: one hurts my feet, the other hurts my eyes.
