Being in exile is the source of my inspiration. My work developed directly from investigation into ID cards, people’s origins and how they are presented through governmental processes. I use drawing to listen to people’s specific psychological dramas, with the work aiming to show a point of struggle between thought and appearance. |  |

California Dreaming’ is intended to provoke thoughts that address the nature of how one interprets and deciphers images of our surroundings through differing and conflicting media. In a city undergoing radical change it is essential to fully investigate the ‘utopias’ being presented as possible futures and there historical legacy. |  |

Bleed”, a punk band performs in a confined space inside a gallery. During their performance, band members’ body parts, instruments, and sound escape the frame constraining them. Bleed addresses the Romantic desire to transcend the boundary separating artist and audience, and the cultural sphere of the art world itself. |  |

For Conjunction 2010 I have produced a multiple lenticular print – the latest incarnation of a drive to twin Stoke-on-Trent with the 304,000,000 light years distant galaxy cluster Stephan’s Quintet. Intended to build up public support for the drive but also to connect the people of Stoke with both the area’s geological prehistory and unfathomably distant cosmic extremes, the print shows the two locations juxtaposed against and morphing into one another. |  |

Failed Attempts Installation: “A memorial for the insects that once animated the space, Lucas’ sculptural sound installation presents the viewer with a subtle history; narrated through the text and sound accompanying a series of bronze casts. The insects story of failure to escape from the room holds a metaphorical resonance in relation to our own failures, hopes and desires.” |  |

“Like industrial companies the church is also in a situation of change.
My recent work explores the transition between still and moving images and
is structured into three parts. In these- “moving, inflatable and flying church“
– videos I reflect on how man copes with modernity. Longer time periods are
compressed to last merely a minute” |

Juneau Projects’ recent work has focused upon the relationship between music, performance art and sculpture, questioning the positions of the artist and audience within these fields. The work for Conjunction intends to push this further and to look at the role of the space within this area of enquiry. |  |

This multiple takes the form of a bookmark on which is written a self contained story, a modern parable of a librarian who discovers a bookmark which has extraordinary powers, one of which is that it seems to be able to stop time itself. The librarian does not use it’s powers ‘correctly’, however, and suffers the consequences. The lessons to be learnt from the parable are not clear and offer no obvious moral guidance. |  |

| Freya Wright |
Freya Wright’s paintings engage with the juxtaposition of the technological distance of film and the human touch of painting. Painting’s lack of obligatory narrative structure introduces questions on the reliability of the cinema image. |  |
