Dust Compressor

(wood, metal jack, three weeks worth of dust, dustpan and brush)

Primarily interested in the way we as humans leave a trace of our existence, I begin to explore a socio-anthropological investigation and demand a redistribution of politics particularly those surrounding and encompassing our lives. Looking at the human imprint, what we leave behind, what we discard and what traces are left of our physical and spiritual embodiment I create work that is in many respects both physical and metaphysical. This is understood through a process of archiving and recording the spaces, objects and residue of our human presence, by using a mixture of sculpture, installation and video works. 

Recently the work has expressed a desire to completely flatten out and eradicate social hierarchies affected by and effectuating of consumerism. Waiting for things, dust in this case, to naturally be destroyed and then manually become compacted.

By sweeping, crushing and compressing dust I have become almost obsessed with how to preserve and re-use this residue of others and the objects that others may encompass.

Dust is a natural essence of our lives and the world in which we live in, mostly ignored or brushed away. By forcing the viewer to see this as a solidified object, it not only represents the passing of time but also our own and that of the planets being.

HATCHED Presents...   70 Feet the Bath Spa Fine Art Show 2011!

So we've been very busy regarding our Free Range show.... fundraising, design, naming the show etc etc.

Here's what has happened in the last couple of weeks...

We've been bag packing, doing cake sales, and a keen member of our group has even shaved her hair off!! Raising a whopping £600! Well done Faith :)

We are all starting to think more about what we might actually be showing for our show now, as degree show time is catching up with us!

We have also decided on catalogue format and our Graphics Designer for this year is Kate Wardale! So well done Kate for being chosen.

And a big thank you to those that submitted work - we had some brilliant designs!

Here is a little preview of what the space looks like, minus the walls and the art!

Without giving much away, we have some exciting things lined up for you all! Including extra special Bath Spa art and performances! 

Finally, May 17th we have a big event planned at Komedia in Bath - LIVE MUSIC, DJs, ART RAFFLE, DANCE and DRINKS. More info and line up TBA soon... Tickets will be on sale after Easter.

Artist of the Week - 27th February 2011

Canvas is steadily unpicked and the resulting threads are dipped into oil medium in a time based performance. The work deconstructs painting and is formed from a desire to investigate the relationship between canvas and oil medium. I am intrigued by the minute details of the materials and drawing attention to the way they behave. The act of incessantly unpicking and dipping the threads explores the structure of the canvas and the viscosity of the medium.

Amreen Khan

Artist of the Week - 20th February 2011

My work investigates the concept of cultures, in particular my struggle between two societies; my origins in Pakistan and the Western society, which I live in. The paintings explore the contrast of cultures and uses bright colours which originate from traditional Asian clothing. Mehndi (is an Urdu meaning for ‘henna’) designs are applied to the paintings using western tools, such as biro and gel pens, integrating the two cultures.
