Rhiannon Helena Cory

As far as I can see, the world offers countless visual and conceptual influences and I feel that it is god-given duty to illustrate them from my own perspective. My intention is to share my expression through visual communication.

In my artistic practice, I like to play around with fine art techniques and contemporary digital processes. Using an experimental approach to mark-making I have dabbled with the idea of narrative illustration and character design.

Recently I have been looking at the concept of personality through elements of portraitures and typography.

Annus Epidermis (working title)

From pre-birth to post-death, we carry our own personal protection against the rigors of our environment, against the harshness of its rain, wind, cold, heat and corrosive influences. Our skin, our epidermis travels with us as an external canvas to the world, continually recycling its self to maintain structural effectiveness whilst still suffering the visible effects of time and wear. Skin is a barrier that repels environmental factors which over time will lay waste to mountains, carve rivers into bedrock or desiccate lush landscape into dry and arid desert.

Our epidermis defends us through life as our personal environmental shield, whilst also playing a key role in visual recognition, expression and individuality for us as a communicative and self-aware species. Likewise, the variations in tone or colour of skin can affect the perception of others, creating issues revolving around race, cast, culture, age, religion, politics and geography, all based on or influenced by nothing thicker than the skin of a human being and any existing preconceptions or presumptions.

Skin and time seem therefore to be closely related, our own perception of the passing of time is educated to roughly match our perception of the ageing of the skin over time, so that we expect a child to have smooth skin, a elderly man to have wrinkled skin, and for there to be a predictable path between youthfulness and agedness.

Annus Epidermis will be a photographic exploration into the relationship between human skin and our human experience of time, creating a series of work that will demonstrate this relationship, ‘freezing time’ photographically in order to draw attention to the ‘passing of time’ as a human experience.

Annie Sanderson

Contemporary Textile Artist

Focussed on experimenting with texture, form and emotions, I combine heavily embroidered machine stitch with subtle prints to create large scale textile pieces. I additionally work to a more commercial scale by making craft pieces, fashion accessories and giftware.

Regularly, I manipulate my interest in historical events to influence my work, yet currently I am investigating the fibres and structures of human anatomy. Whilst continuing to work with embroidery stitch, I am exploring constructed textiles in the aim of creating three-dimensional pieces – essentially I am bringing the insides, out.

Cindel Simmill

"I'm a Ceramic Designer from Stoke-on-Trent, I do a mixture of commercial and sculptural ceramics. The main aim to my work is taking an object and seeing how I can manipulate it, either as a sculpture or a visual design for kitchenware. The idea of taking a random item and turning it into something inspiring and adventurous, is the whole concept of my work. Anything from a seashell to a hair brush can be inspiration for my work, I can look at these objects and turn them into something completely different, like a cup or vase."

Rebecca ann Boden

Rebecca ann Boden is a Textiles designer whose work also crosses into Fashion and Textile crafts.

Textiles is an expression that plays with your senses, the textures make you want to Touch, and you stop to See the patterns, prints and embellishments.

My working practice sees me experimenting with a mix of contemporary textile methods including, print, embroidery, weave and knit. I find it so interesting to discover new and traditional techniques and mix them together to create exciting pieces.
