The format is two/three presentations by artists / practitioners about their work / ideas / interests: 20-30 minute presentations followed by Q&A.

Marianne Sice
Maz is a musician and interdisciplinary artist from North East England. After receiving training in music, dance and theatre (among a variety of other things!) from a young age (as a Classical pianist at Centre for Advanced Training at Sage Gateshead, at STAGE School of Performing Arts and Newcastle’s School of Rock and Pop) she went on to complete a BA in Music (Hons) at Newcastle University graduating in 2018.
After always being drawn to the visual arts and always seeking to find ways to combine music and arts to complete and fulfil the desires of her work she began to experiment with and develop practices in performance art (in performing, directing, writing and producing), installation and sound art.
Currently studying on the MA in Creative Arts Practice at Culture Lab, Newcastle University she aspires to work and travel internationally.
Becky Moore
After all this time I know what I am and that’s some kind of victory: Self-portrait of the artist
Becky Moore is a textile artist, who’s recent work has examined the nature of grief and loss, what it does to us. In After All This Time…, Becky mines her own vulnerabilities and difficulties and traces them back to their source. On the surface, it’s a bleak self portrait of damage and depression, but the understanding that has come from it’s making has been a personal victory, and has revealed a way forward.
For most of Becky’s life, stitching has been somewhat prosaic: earning a living, stretching a budget, mending and making do, and more recently, product design. But after years of design and making, forays into illustration and digital art, she has returned, finding the needle the best way to express what she needs to think and to say. She has broken the long-ago learnt embroidery rules, to make the ugly as well as the beautiful, the meaningful as well as decorative.
After All This Time… is a 3D embroidered textile sculpture. It was made during lockdown, in something of a vacuum, and it is now time to drag it out of the cupboard and into the light of day: “The making of it required deep digging into the more miserable places of my mind. The end product has been stuffed away out of sight because I’m a little bit scared of it, but the process has also been cathartic, and embodies important learning that so many years of therapy just never really touched on.”
