Geoff Titley

Geoff uses digital tools in making 3D printed sculpture as well as still and moving image. He works in the blurred transitional space between the physical and virtual, between the seemingly authentic and the completely artificial.

Maliha Haider

Maliha is a London-based Pakistani writer and translator. Her writing journey yearns to find home in objects, people and places. Her poems have a cosistent theme of human-absurdity, paradox and nostalgia.

Contents Of Women’s Handbags

A video of the research into a series of painting by Teresa.

"I have asked a number of women if they would empty their handbags and allow me to take photographs and make sketches of the contents which I am developing into a series of oil paintings. Each handbag contains different items and they form a portrait of their personality and give some insight into their identity and everyday lives."

The River in You (2023) - Film Installation (projection) and soundscape

A meandering sonic journey through the waterways of the body, 'The River in You' explores the human relationship with water in both the internal and the external. Careering through orifices, tubes and organs this ambient soundscape celebrates the journey water takes into and out of the body, transforming audio recordings taken with a stethoscope microphone into a meditative experience for the listener/viewer.
