A Prayer for the Internet All Hail the Great Woozle / Tom Goddard
Shortlived encounters with the SPOD and the BBOD / Tom Goddard

Thomas Goddard

I work in a range of media including video, performance, drawing, learning and
social arts practice.
My recent practice has explored the effect of digital technology on our lived
experience. My work feeds off our political, social and technological evolution (or
regression) through collaging historical narratives, making comments on the
future, all the while considered within the modes of science fiction and horror.

Bread of Heaven / Robert Harding
Untitled / Robert Harding

Robert Harding

Robert Harding still believes in the power of objects and so makes sculpture using fabrication, casting and collaged ‘found’ objects.

Statue Of Daphne / Carol Hiles
Daphne In A Garden / Carol Hiles

Carol Hiles

Carol Hiles is a painter whose interest lies in the interplay between the natural, man-made and imagined within public gardens. She is drawn to the encounter of formality and vivid nature in these staged spaces and explores their coexistence within her work

Connections II / Sue Hiley Harris
Unearthed III / Sue Hiley Harris

Sue Hiley Harris

Sue Hiley Harris describes herself as a sculptor weaver although recently much of her work includes drawing. It may be understood in relation to constructed abstract art, in both two or three dimensions, in which material, structure and form are interdependent.

Nocturne Detail / Sue Hunt
Lily and Bluebell Study Detail / Sue Hunt

Sue Hunt

Sue Hunt is known as a painter and printmaker, and has exhibited her work widely both in the UK and abroad.
The work is about life, birth, growth, development and fading towards extinction, which we share, as parallel eco residents, with the plant world.
Life can be brief, forceful, transient, fragile and diverse. These elements I recognize as becoming fundamental to my work, and it is the magnificence of this quiet reflected poignancy that I want to communicate.

Spiked Pollen Form / Dilys Jackson
Spiked Pollen Form III / Dilys Jackson

Dilys Jackson

Dilys Jackson works in her studio and elsewhere in Cardiff. These works are from a pollen form series. Pollens have been on this planet for millennia before human life and will probably continue long after. They are essential for life on this planet to thrive.

Mountain To Climb / Kay Keogh
The Thing Above / Kay Keogh

Kay Keogh

To an outside observer, it may seem painting in a studio, appears to be quiet and relaxing. However, my experience is quite the reverse. Internally, I’m having funny weird conversations with myself, struggling with the paint, canvas and brushes, to communicate thoughts and feelings, which is tricky and exhausting.

Garden of Stars / Martyn Jones
The Forgotten Journey / Martyn Jones

Martyn Jones

Martyn Jones is a contemporary painter who works from his studio based in Cardiff, Wales, U.K.

I think ultimately in my paintings, I am searching for something unobtainable, a calm tranquility, an impossible form of transcendence, a perfect existence’.

The Last Catch / Pauline Le Britton
Young Spirit / Pauline Le Britton

Pauline Le Britton

I am a mixed media artist and foundry technician from Pembrokeshire. My work is a personal expression of memories and aspects of life, oscillating between what feels familiar and ordinary, and the unfamiliar – a realm that has a dark twist of the unknown. I work directly in paper or make moulds from found objects, animals and bones, the seashore and nature.

Who Are They And Do You Care / Alison Lochead
You Cannot Destroy Words / Alison Lochead

Alison Lochhead

Alison’s work reflects on the injustices and traumas endured by humanity. Her work despairs of the ongoing horror of conflict and war and the seeming inability of humans to learn from previous experience. She uses materials to depict what she wants to say ; whether fired in a kiln, melted in an iron cupola or paper and paint.

Peter Spriggs

“A painting, or a print, is eventually completed and there was nothing easy about this. It has layers of emotion and turmoil, time and labour, and eventually, resolution.”

The Rockery At Chatsworth House / Owain Sparnon
Untitled 2024 / Owain Sparnon

Owain Sparnon

Owain Sparnon (Wales, 2000) is an artist based in Neath. His work addresses themes of memory, place and identity, through paint and collage. Creating works that respond to the artist’s everyday encounters, he’s intrigued by the notion of layering, unravelling, intertwining, and decontextualising the boundaries between objects, events and recollections.
