Jill Hedges
Co-Founder and Project Coordinator
My practice revolves around memory and the measuring of human emotion. I use a variety of media to explore my ideas but gelatine and hair gel usually play a large part. My current area of research is concerned with speech and language.
Warren Shaw

In 2009 he received his BA Honours in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University and has since shown work in London, Oxford and Nottingham. This year will see his first solo show ‘Sound Forms’ take place at The Rooftop Gallery in Corby this April. Warren’s work primarily investigates the morphology of human experience through a variety of visual and aural media, resulting in synaesthetic interdisciplinary crossovers, installations and more traditional outcomes.

Graham Keddie MRBS
Artist and curator describes his current Visual Art Practice in 2015 as: 'Examining the Philosophy of Ordinary Language, love and the consumption of milk'.
He is quoted as saying;
“Not everything I say is necessarily true but, I never tell a lie”
And; I would describe myself as a Fine Art ‘Archaeologist’ or ‘Enquirer’. The exact nature of my practice is always in a state of 'Flux'. On anyone day if questioned, the answer will be determined by the circumstances of that Place and Time.
Graham Keddie is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors. He exhibits regionally, internationally in Europe and America.
