Caitlin's current perspective centres on art

 as a therapeutic outlet for traumatic and

 repressed memories of events and situations

 in the past. Using a wide range of media

 and combining some of the products of these

 differing media and techniques, I experiment

 with ways to give voice to the subconscious

Caitlin transforms the former scientific production space into a forest of dreams

FIONA LONG

Long’s “Concrete Poetry” series is an exploration of how it feels to live in the city. These chaotic images investigate the fast-paced lives we lead both visually and almost viscerally. An archaeological approach to painting shows the contrasts of the impact that both people and nature have on the manmade structures we are surrounded by. The Eastern aesthetic of the beauty of transience is contemplated to interpret the ever-changing urban landscape. A fascination with material is coupled with areas of representation using personal street photography and collages from free London newspapers as source material.

I am interested in the stories that objects tell about the lives and values of people. My fascination with crocheted doilies springs from this. Their patterns have a symmetry which seems to suggest order and that everything is just right. Is this view a little sugar coated?

Colour is the most exciting aspect of glass making, allowing the vibrancy and transparency of the colours to shine, all our pieces are bright and full of glorious colour, including dichrioic flashes, silver and gold.

My research and studio practice reflects an ongoing investigation of the domestic archive as everyday portrait and place for identification and the formation of identity, and explores in particular the image/object relationship of the family photograph.

The exploration of the family photographic archive elevates the humble yet treasured origins of family history ephemera to status of artwork. Through their exploration the audience is able to both identify with the archetype: for everyone has seen, or owns pictures like these; and empathise with the clichéd impulse to relive remembered moments; but also to embrace notions of identity as formed by experience.
