We Will Never As Humans Be Able To See 360°, 2016

Jo Clements

The project We Will Never As Humans Be Able To See 360° merges Jo Clements’ sculptural structures with virtual reality to create multi-layered, immersive, sensory environments. Artists Sam Ingleson and Steve Oliver were commissioned by Clements to create new digital content specifically for the project and digital artist Alasdair Swenson worked with all three artists to realize their ideas.

#muscles Running Woman, 2017

Helen Dryden

A watercolour painting on heavyweight paper, inspired by social media searched using #muscles. Part of my ongoing research into aspirational lifestyles and human relationships.

Studio Sculpture, 2016

Emily Glass

These sculptures explore the complex relationship we have between mind and body. They embody a struggle between inertia and energy, being and non being. The forms are partly determined by the elasticity of the fabric and its porousness, so they cannot be completely predetermined. They suggest the play of improvisation and chance.
