Italian CLAUDIA MILIOTI combines
elements of performance, video and sculpture in her practice.
Casting herself as subject in her video work and with the use of
simple visual devices, Milioti metamorphoses into odd half-breed
creatures. Simultaneously humorous and unsettling, Miliioti’s
work makes compelling viewing.
DOUGLAS WHITE'S large scale sculptures hinge on a transformative
notion of the everyday. White is a collector of found objects
that have undergone extreme physical transformation, examples
being blown out tyres; a tree struck by lightening; and burnt
out recycling bins. These works explore the derelict and
discarded and the potential formal strength therein as the
artist reanimates them through manipulation or
recontextualisation.
JO WILMOT'S paintings are free, celebratory workings of outdoor
environments reminiscent of luxurious English stately homes.
Found within the vistas though are clues to activities that have
taken place earlier. Underwear hanging from branches or a
champagne bottle lying next to the pool leaves clues to decadent
and potentially sinister behaviour, forming an intriguing
narrative set within a familiar country idyll.
