Lesley Stepney “Internal Landscapes”
Experimenting with idea’s and different materials is the stage where I have fun & discoveries are made. When a result that interests me is obtained I liken it to a puzzle and attempt to develop form and idea’s into something that will work in a different size & material. It’s often a test of patience while problems are solved but lessons are learnt along the way.
The final realization of a piece of work from its initial beginnings gives me enormous satisfaction however I try not to view it as the end result. There is always another Journey to be made and another Sculpture to develop and create.

Teresa Martin “Newton’s Opus Opticks I and II”
Part of a group of 5 spherical forms of differing metal colours from copper blue, to apple green, to olive, to orange rust.
I’m always fascinated how the work of Scientists, especially in Chemistry, mirrors the work of sculptors. Historically, there are frequently both interests in a family. I like to experiment with sculptural processes and reinvent the use of materials.
Newton experimented with light and found that white light is a mixture of colours. He also began to think about gravity — whether the same force that causes an apple to fall to Earth also affects the Moon.
This group of forms is a comment on all these aspects of Newton’s interests. The metals used are blended to create graduating colours. Some have a solar light inside so that they will have a mysterious glow at night. Up side down they could be adapted to become a water feature.

Abby Martin “Chess Set”
The man made and natural forms or fake/nature images I often make are intentionally not confrontational. I like transforming a space as in the creation of a set, leaving the audience at leisure to pass through at will providing a source of escapism.

Valerie N’Doye “For the love of Chocolate”
My work was originally inspired by the human figure which fascinated me because of the curves, muscles, the miracle of movement as well as emotional expression. I worked with clay, cast in plaster and cement fondue. “For the love of chocolate” is a part of my most recent work where I have been attracted to the process of making with various subjects and used a different medium such as resin – smarties.
