I Like Remodel @ The Walker Gallery

For this project, I would like to create something to do with families and memories. So far I have been looking through my own memories of family and asking people about their thoughts on their family and what family is to them. I will be looking at the idea of tangled thoughts and patchy memories through a series of paintings and dada poetry pieces. The paintings I am thinking about doing, I am thinking about doing then on a calico type material or aida material, these paintings will be done in watercolour and based on my own family but they will be faceless so they can connect to anyone and this also will get the audience questioning about the emotions of the piece  . I will also be adding a bit of textiles to these paintings using the threads for the idea of tangled thoughts. The dada poetry will be based on the responses I get from social media about peoples thoughts on family, making these responses into dada poems will show the idea of confusion and memories getting missed up.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza´s characteristic use of crafts such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery combined with other media on her artistic work, bestow a poetic quality to depictions of plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times. Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú , Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality. Her laborious use of traditionally feminine handicraft has become her trademark, where her interest was centered initially on depictions of herself and the relationship with her body and in Animales Familiares  on the liaison of herself and her relation with others by the use of animal metaphors. Through photographs the artist recently has registered spaces she inhabited for long periods of time. With this technique, her experiences were depicted in an image; printed on paper as foot...

Lauren Velvick

Lauren Velvick is a writer, Artist and curator based in Manchester. She is currently CO director of the exhibition centre for the “life and use of books” and programme co-ordinator at Bluecoat Arts Centre in Liverpool. She is also a contributor to the national and local arts publications , for example : Arts Monthly, The Skinny, The Double Negative and This is tomorrow, and is also a contributing editor of corridor 8 She is inspired by Encountering every day creativity and intensely boring/meditative city walks, all sorts of things I like how she uses text , writing and speaking as a performance piece instead of just painting a picture but I don’t think I could do this in my practice because im not really a performing artist. I also like how her work is sometimes based on her response to other artist http://www.lifeanduseofbooks.org/old_site/corridor-videos.html I was unable to add some videos of Laurens work but here is a link to some

Ryan Gander

Ryan Gander is an artist whose work ranges from installations, sculptures and photographs to performative lectures, publications, inventions and interventions. Gander examines the conditions of art production and the cognitive process of the perception of art. His body of works forms a labyrinth of inter-related narratives often based on real incidents or characters or existing artworks. 'Absence' plays a central role in Gander's work and lends the works an enigmatic aura. It invites the viewer to re-establish a story's hidden character or object's possible function and by that illuminates the process of making meaning of a work of art. I really like how this guy presents his work and is very determined and doesn't let his disability stop him from doing what he enjoys. I also like his work, its simple but has got so much behind the work.  For example :    This piece is called "Robbed us with the sight of what we should have known (20...
