Laura Dean - not quite me, mixed media canvas, 88cm x 88cm, detail from un:mute exhibition at The Shard, London
Laura Dean
Laura’s work stems from ideas of the Human Home, places already enfolded in the world outside while being what we carry with us. She’s especially interested in how spaces make us feel; how bodies occupy space differently according to how they are performed, perceived, and mediated through hierarchies of visibility. Who is seen? How are we seen? Who is looking?
Currently artist-in-residence on un:mute, an AHRC project for Women/Theatre/Justice in partnership with Clean Break Theatre Company.

Patricia Joy Chamberlain
The source material for my paintings is always mixed media news reports from various parts of the world where there is injustice and unrest, which is usually war. I paint the history of a conflict as it unfolds and continues. Sadly, I never have a lack of material.
I aim to ensnare the viewer with the beauty of an image to I reach their subconscious mind, prior to them realising that they are receiving a message that may well be a difficult one.
I finished my Masters in Painting in 2022 and continue to invest in my practice, in an eternal need to improve and diversify. My work is invariably political, although I do sometimes paint landscapes and portraits. I always return to the political.
Paul Daly
For over a decade, Paul has documented social history throughout England during a time of great divide and unrest, encompassing the breadth of this country's society and diverse culture. Further artworks explore mortality, masculinity, solitude, and ritual, referencing and dissecting his upbringing. In 2022, his film Mirrors, supported by BFI Doc Society, premiered in the International Short Competition at Sheffield DocFest and was later longlisted for BIFA Best Short Film. His first feature documentary, Shadows, is now in production and examines class structure, identity, and the balance of power in England.

Sam Kelly
Sam Kelly is fascinated by the paths and patterns formed as material loops between history and transhistoricity. He hopes that particular materials might be worked to represent a strange map of their own idea.
