Alice Fox creates simple collagraphs using found objects and materials that connect to landscapes. She has a fascination for the natural world and also does stitching, weaving, printing and harnessing natural processes.I find her use of an earthy colour scheme effective, helping the viewer to connect to the landscapes and feel the nature. Her collagraphs are quite simple but hold key to small detail and carefully placed materials that look very intriguing.
Jenny Davis is a visual artist who focuses on the imperfections, incomplete found in urban environments. I find we have similar interests in abandoned places, old industrial sites and graffitied walls. Davis creates paintings and collages using rough materials.
I like the sense of stories belonging to old abandoned places as the ageing/ruins show a story, and Davis captures this in her collages. They look used and hold a worn personality that you can connect too.

Cas Holmes creates collages using random fabrics sewn together. By using a free hand sewing machine to create detailed embroidery of flowers and animals. Her use of bright colours and intricate details in the embroideries make her work feel full of life like the summer. The sewn flowers look life like as if she took cuttings from her garden, this makes the viewer want to go outside and appreciate the real nature.

Tina Jenson creates collages that look worn and vintage. She uses textiles, paper and things she has discovered from travelling across Europe. Her artwork looks homely and full of character by using old photographs or images of nature. Her mixture of materials such as fabrics with paper, like postcards, interest me as they are materials anyone can own and have lying around.
Katherine Chang Liu creates painting inspired by the unfinished. Her artwork is to make people stop and think about the past, examine things and slow down to appreciate the process. I really like the unfinished look as it ties in with my fascination with abandoned places. The paint strokes and other materials are bare and rough.
