RELEASED

We still need to create and explore!

A curation of work driven by creative human energy and coming to light during the Covid-19 affected moments of 2020, .

“During these temporary times of uncertainty we must stay connected to human creativity which is central to our core.

My creative language has always been visual, yours may take a different form. What keeps us creatives creating is knowing our work will leave an impression.

The idea came to me early on the morning of March 23 2020 after considering what it would be like to not have my creativity experienced by anyone and found this to be a sobering thought. Yes of course we all have our platforms to show what we do but the idea here is that we create a collective burst of creativity!”

UNTITLED

I’m an event organiser and mother-of-one based in the South East of England. I created this website as a way to share my writing.
I love writing, but I wasn’t one of those kids who wrote incessantly during my youth. I began journaling in my early twenties to help me work out suppressed emotions. I grew up in an oppressive household and writing helped me find my voice. Although I find it difficult, even now, as a grown woman to express myself with the spoken word; writing helps me express myself in a way that feels safe. The writing process is my outlet for healing.
Please read my work knowing that in every poem and in every story I leave a piece of me behind.

UNTITLED 737935 (2019/19)

RSD practice explores the digital hybridity of sculpture following the affirmation of media, exploring the nuances of identity that pivot between hyper-visibility and invisibility, offering (re-) imagined collective perspective.
Her sculptures chronicle the reframing of black anatomy - unencumbered, in traction - contextually abstracted from traditional representational aesthetics, shifting the normative function of figurative practices within a mode of self-referential questioning in a new form of 'hybrid realism'.

A TRINI IN LANSING

No one quite captures the essence of calypso, jazz and swag like Etienne Charles does. I hung out with Etienne and his fellow Professors of Jazz, on a balmy summer evening in downtown Lansing (Michigan) in 2017. I felt compelled to capture him locked-in to a swing groove – eyes closed in a moment of mercurial improvisation. The Trinidad-born trumpeter is a standard-bearer for a Caribbean-inspired aesthetic combining music and fashion – from his pastel-blue rimmed spectacles to his customised stingy brim fedora and tri-tone double-breasted jacket.

THE BACK OF A BUILDING THROUGH LIDL CAR PARK, EDMONTON

Taz Gray explores drawing through her interest in architecture and composition of buildings. Her main medium is a Staedtler fine liner where she has to accept the marks committed to paper. Inspiration comes from traveling and exploring local places near her home in Edmonton/Tottenham. Since social distancing was introduced, she has been drawing almost everyday to manage the monotony of lockdown. Recent works have been focusing on the industrial/urban landscape around Edmonton with a considered response to shadows and silhouettes.

UNUSUAL ART FROM USUAL THINGS

Growing up in the Army I moved every few years. We ALWAYS had boxes around. My brother and I would make everything out of them - forts, furniture, costumes, games... It literally kills me to see someone throw away a box. Now with the “amazon effect” of so much waste piling up, I was inspired to use my cardboard cutting military brat skills to try to bring some awareness to the issue of recycling. My new work is made from 100% recycled cardboard (mostly Amazon boxes). I’m also working with gouache paint which makes these pieces eco friendly and sustainable. My goal is to provide quality fine art while inspiring people to recycle, reuse and to get creative!

I AM ROOTED HERE

I am Rooted Here
What we need now and always, are trees.
Trees signify life, strength and hope
Trees provide food, drink and shade – and shelter – and materials.
Trees protect
Trees signify renewal
Trees elevate and support wellbeing
Trees reach up to the skies
Trees reach down to the depths of the earth to drink of the waters.
Trees signify continuity and longevity
Trees are historians
Trees are defiant!
Trees signify belonging and rootedness.

SEVEN BELLS

The Painting Seven Bells has taken me over 20 years to complete. It depicts the process we call “Human Revolution” which is the transformation of one individual through chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.
This transformation of courage, wisdom and compassion through their word thought and deed, study of Nichiren Daishonins writings and sharing with others, radiates through that person’s entire environment - one person then another and another are inspired to, practice and do their “Human Revolution”. This process has so far created positive change in 51 countries, today we have membership in 192 countries and territories around the globe. This change will effect the present, 7 generations back and 7 generations forward and will continue within the Seven Bells. Over the years of developing this painting my own “Human Revolution” included recovering from the death of my youngest daughter and my own illness.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, 200cm x 340cm, OIL ON FLAX. 2020

Diane Chappalley is a Swiss artist based in London.
‘I exploit the residue of lived experiences and the imaginary to create a world that is mine and with its own rules. Here at the edge of winter, the blooming flowers are teasing us, edging through the bare forest, and the row of naked trees acts as a barrier between you and me. We don’t know what is behind, what is hidden, but only what is left to be seen. It is an inaccessible landscape - a psychological one'

WAKEFIELD: WOOL, SILK, LINEN COAT

I like making something from nothing. The magic involved in creating beauty from discarded, broken or unloved items.
I enjoy the limitation of working with old garments and recycled fabrics, the way my problem solving is tested when considering where to place the pattern pieces.
I love how stains and holes dictate and challenge my options of enhancing the item.

BEWATER - 2019

I create landscapes that echo mountains, volcanoes, water and clouds; landscapes of the soul in which weather and natural phenomena reflect inner feelings. That leaves room for associations and projections.
I play with coincidences of the physical properties in paint giving it space to live and at the same time subtly manipulate accidents. In the end what happens is reminiscent of drone images, satellite photography or microscope enlargements…or something completely different.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT IN ITS REDUCTION

The Leica photography by Tom Edelkind mainly focuses on human studies, which is illustrated both in the portrait and in street photography. Over the last 18 months he has been striving to understand the world through the lens of his Leica. In his black and white photography, Tom Edelkind reduces his world to the essentials and usually makes them visible in an unspectacular way.

CLOUDS - A SHORT STORY

Have you ever heard of the rain cloud that some people get, hovering above their heads, soaking them in a continuous downpour? No matter what they do, they can’t seem to get dry, can’t seem to escape and can’t seem to run under cover. It follows them everywhere, sticking to them like glue from the moment they wake up in the morning to the moment they close their eyes and go to sleep...
