REBECCA TUCKER
I’m a sculptor living and working in Glasgow. My practice revolves around finding ways to represent duality and paradox with recurring themes of body, character, object, indulgence and guilt. I explore these themes through recurring motifs and symbols. I work in a variety of different media including drawing and moving image but at the moment my primary focus is working with ceramic. I throw on the wheel and hand build – any excuse to play with mud!

HENRY BLACKWELL
I’m 21. I’m 900,000 years old. I’m an artist. I’m a brother. I’m a comedian. I’m a worker. I’m an eater. I’m a drinker. I’m a chef. I’m a painter. I’m a son. I’m a sleeper. I’m a writer. I’m not an Everyman, I am every man. I work largely with performative interventions in public spaces. Subtle reimagining’s of what is possible on and in the land that surrounds me; can one party in a building site or play on a dance machine in the garden? My work deals with local history, invented history, labour, overwhelm, gesture, leisure and how we spend our free time, the commodification of this ‘leisure time’ and recontextualising the actions associated with fun and freedom and joy. It's a choreographed party and my body is the only guest. Central to most of this work though is an exploration of narrative, place and time, language/communication and movement (of objects and people).

SHANI HAQUIN
I am a painter and artist working and living in London. I take my inspiration from human experiences, currently focusing on images I took in different protests taking place in my home country, Israel. My work explores the material aspect of painting as physical, intellectual, and emotional labour. I try to create paintings that are colorful, semi-figurative yet with abstract elements, featuring crowds of people engaging in a shared powerful experience.

MERNYWERNZ
I am documenting an ongoing artistic exploration of the emergent post truth, post internet age of technology we are living through and its potential side effects. My images are informed by the veracity of online meme culture, a cynical world view and a love of technical illustrations and diagrams. My style is vibrant and frenetic. It may appear naive, but contains intricate details and pertinent critiques of our times. My portfolio of cryptic diagrams, nonsensical cutaways and frenzied murals aim to embrace imperfection and encourage a sense of creative and technical nonchalance.
Most recent work produced since early 2020 deals with the unavoidable presence of our friend, covid19, and the absence of certainty and abundance of hopelessness. Of particular interest to me is the rise of online conspiracies and misinformation. The impression that people no longer know what is real and are becoming increasingly divided by their ideological commitments. A growing crisis, which is being facilitated by tech corporations and dreaded “algorithms”.
