Rachael Adams
Rachael Adams is a painter who invites us to consider the status of the people, places and events that populate her pictures, whether they exist in direct or abstract realms, in personal or shared experiences.www.scrutineer.co.uk

I created Handmade & Vintage because I love old but ordinary household items, often handmade or hand decorated, and wanted to find ways to make them useful and appreciated once more.I take vintage things and rework them to find a place in modern surroundings. Vintage postcards become lavender bags, vintage fabrics are used to create hat stands, lace and embroidered hankies become buntingand doilies are transformed into cushions. There are also small vintage collage pieces, bags from tea towels and quilts from vintage tablecloths... I'm pretty certain that reusing and recycling handmade goods will make a home a happier place!
Personalised commissions welcome.

Each city has its ghost town and it is particularly noticeable these days how many derelict buildings and empty shops there are. These are haunted places; metaphors of loss and abandonment. They are suffused with a disturbed sense of self, what Freud referred to as the unheimliche: something familiar which has become alienated through the process of repression. They are also analogous to a fragile sense of self. My photographs of ransacked rooms, graffitied walls, scattered detritus, peeling paint, bare brick, boarded exteriors, crumbling interiors and liver-spotted walls can all be read as inner disturbances – an internal landscape reflected in the abandoned urban environment. When entering these places we stand at the threshold where the self is exposed and begins to dissolve. There is a realisation that these abandoned structures are awaiting demolition, on the verge of a seismic upheaval and imminent collapse.www.flickr.com/photos/51241173@N03

I aim to capture what is on the periphery of visual perception and on the edge of our consciousness, often banal visions or subjects, taking the qualities and distortions generated by the interplay of light and object, and translate these fragments into densely layered paintings, concentrating on the interpretation of shadows, silhouettes, and reflections. The resulting images oscillate or occupy a space between figuration and abstraction, imbuing these ephemeral fragments with a subtle sculptural solidity and presence and thus objectifying light and arresting transitory moments in form.Using traditional tools and methods in painting, drawing, and photography, she is exploring temporal and spatial perception in relation to memory whilst attempting to unravel relationships between the peripheral, banal and the uncanny.

Being interested in the human form, I have focused on one aspect of the human body, in this case hair, to create a series of drawings using pencil and graphite. The nature of this subject offers an interesting texture which allows me to experiment with intricate detail and bold marks. I look to create compositions that are eye-catching and have the ability to reveal their graphic quality when standing at a distance, combined with the ability to draw the observer in closer to view the imperfections of the more delicate marks.kim.hollands@hotmail.com
Amy Hope
Amy Hope comes from a fine art background and is finally pursuing her own artwork after six years in graphic design.The work falls somewhere between art and craft and has been well received in Brighton shows. Combining her interest in maps and British wildlife, Amy makes illustrative images out of paper. Every piece is painstakingly put together, first drawn then cut with a scalpel. As each sliver of paper is cut out it reveals another colour beneath. Maps are often incorporated in the work, contextualising the subject matter geographically.

Amanda Moss
Dip. AD. Sculpture. High Wycombe.Diploma in Textiles and Ceramics. Swansea.
Cert.Ed. Swansea.
Teaching Art and Design and Design and Technology in London
and Brighton secondary schools since 1978.
I record subjects that people can relate to when they are out walking. Sea and landscape, industrial design, space and movement. These powerful starting points are expressed in a wide variety of media, from acrylic painting and collage to pencil and pen, it depends on mood and location.
Sometimes abstract and decorative other times technical and realistic. My drawings/paintings/prints are sculptural with emphasis on colour and line, quite free and atmospheric.
I start on location then work at home on a variety of papers. Size is from A5 to A1.
