I started using encaustics because I was looking for a way to trap marks beneath thick translucent layers of paint, without having to rely on the largely plastic and unnatural qualities of acrylic.

Richard Slee, acclaimed ceramicist and winner of last year’s Jerwood Applied Arts Prize, talks to Emma Maiden about his career development.

My recent works are produced through a process of assembling a single piece from a number of ready-made commercial puzzles purchased at car boot sales and second-hand shops.

The investigation of repeat pattern forms the basis of my work which fits somewhere between experimental textiles and product design.

Curator Michael Stanley looks back over a career forged from close collaboration with artists Langlands and Bell.

The more I see of painting, the less I understand it. But I know how it makes me feel.

Over the last ten years I have been involved in a series of ambitious publicly sited projects that have been diverse, both in their physical appearance and their scale, whilst fulfilling various conceptual criteria.

I work predominantly with glass and light, experimenting with these combined mediums to discover visual qualities that inform my ideas.

Over the past twenty-three years working with glass I have come to love the material even more than when I started.

Rosemary Shirley talks to Tania Kovats about how she sustained her practice through a flexible and diverse approach to working.

Back in February, Richard Wilson took time out from installing ‘Irons in the Fire’, his first national touring exhibition, to discuss the development of his career.

In my most recent exhibition, ‘Semi Gloss’ at the Glynn Vivian Gallery in Swansea, I exhibited part of my Crash Site series.

After studying at the art college in Belfast, I joined Catalyst Arts (an artist-run organisation based in the city) where I was co-director for two years.

In 1999 I was flicking through a book on Julia Margaret Cameron, the pioneering Victorian photographer.

My first exhibition after leaving college was the Serpentine Summer Show (sadly no longer in existence) which catapulted me into the art world.
