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 footprints on the ground, physical trace of something that’s not longer there.

I felt really inspired by Ana Teresa Barboza's art because I really like how she has let the piece flow and extend beyond the hoop. I just really like the idea how its all neat and tidy inside the hoop then it goes all messy and free out side the hoop. she has really gave my idea on how to move my project on further

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

David Armes

David Armes is an artist working with letterpress printing, language and geography. His work is frequently site- specific and considers how sense of place can be represented. He uses hand-set type with more expressive approaches. He likes to work with paper folding, surface pattern prints, automatic prints and pressure printing. Armes designed all of his own bands album covers using letterpress printing which he experiments using different materials as a surface. I really like Armes work because most of Armes work is landscape-based, he transforms a photo of a landscape in to a landscape of words and a varity of colours and shapes.
