Out of Body
Gill - Things don’t have to make sense. Things don’t have to be in the ‘right’ place.
A hijacker in stripy knickers appears as a riotous, disruptive presence that defies boundaries. She is slippery. Made up of a hybrid of languages –gestural painterliness, hard line cartooning, naturalistic figuration and total abstraction. Figures rise out of a process that is open ended, provisional and experimental, ghosts made of incidental marks, spillages and negative spaces.

Andrew - Distorted faces and bodies emerge through a process of compulsive collaging, both on paper and as moving image. The underlying chaos is contained by a nervous energy suggesting anxiety and aggression but sublimated by a cartoonish playfulness. Figures jostle for position in confined spaces enlivened by a dynamic mix of recycled prints, drawings and photocopies. These are often cut out to become individual forms, allowed to roam freely in ever-changing combinations, creating their own narratives and conversations.
