Wednesday was the last day of presentations, we saw Seetha Alagapan, Karolina Magnusson-Murray, Ventiko, Charley Peters and Zoe Fudge
Seetha works in collaboration as Moorland Productions. She has exhibited widely in Europe and participated in many residencies, so it was really useful to find out about her experiences of these.
Karolina presented some really powerful work exploring father/daughter interactions in really brave and poignant performances and films. It was inspiring to see the sensitive way she includes members of the public in her work.
Ventiko takes photographs that have the gorgeous asestic of Renaissance paintings, they are beautiful and layered with meaning. She has lighting skills that I would love to learn and hopefully I will have time to see her shoot and light.
The approach to drawing in Charley’s work I find really interesting, she often uses time intensive systems to produce an abstract drawing that is beautiful in it’s simultaneous complexity and simplicity.
Her background as an architect informs Zoe’s work, giving it precision and grace. She makes abstract constructions that still hold a functional quality with out being directly intended for practical use.
