Her practice considers undescriptive thresholds and occupied liminal spaces whilst observing the fluctuation of a particular set of physiological situations.

Graham Keddie MRBS
Artist and curator describes his current Visual Art Practice in 2015 as: 'Examining the Philosophy of Ordinary Language, love and the consumption of milk'.
He is quoted as saying;
“Not everything I say is necessarily true but, I never tell a lie”
And; I would describe myself as a Fine Art ‘Archaeologist’ or ‘Enquirer’. The exact nature of my practice is always in a state of 'Flux'. On anyone day if questioned, the answer will be determined by the circumstances of that Place and Time.
Graham Keddie is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors. He exhibits regionally, internationally in Europe and America.
Jill Hedges
Co-Founder and Project Coordinator
My practice revolves around memory and the measuring of human emotion. I use a variety of media to explore my ideas but gelatine and hair gel usually play a large part. My current area of research is concerned with speech and language.
