Danny Demuth talks abit about the piece he will exhibit in the show:
_______
"My entries to the ‘We Done Art’ exhibition are all perched comfortably on the platform of Graphic Design and exist collectively as an array of messages, remarks, observations and occasionally, solitary words or characters. Through a vast and varied ethic, each piece achieves a sense of personal authorship. In creating hand made and seemingly unconventional typefaces I have bestowed pragmatic, rather than passive viewpoints upon my audiences. In a contemporary social climate, it is impossible to not communicate, this is non negotiable and resistance is futile."

"The pieces of work I am putting forth in the exhibition focuses mainly on areas around film and music. Although I am putting forward these particular paintings I have realised that it isn't neccessary that my work has a particular theme running through, but infact trying to make an excuse just to use paint. My first piece is a 5 painting piece originally from an installation I did focusing on film stills from films I have enjoyed watching as well as showing an ecclectic genre of films. The paintings are to be shown one still above the other to give the notion of a film reel, but set out in a simplistic manner. My second piece of my work is a painting from my 'people and spaces' project which shows two guitarists from a band. I have decided to put this forward to display as I am pleased with the outcome of the figures, and features of the guitarists and therefore is has to be one of my favourite paintings I have made."

George Dunsford talks abit about the piece he will exhibit in the show:
_______
"The work that I have chosen to display in the show is a series of twelve acrylic paintings that are in a comic book style and are based on the series that feature in the television show ‘Heroes’. The basic concept behind them was that I wanted to make art based on something I like, so I chose my favourite TV programme and from there brainstormed what I could make. The whole idea of someone being able to predict people’s death by painting them really interested me. I looked into the drawing by James Cook, which showed his own death that actually came true. So now that I had the idea I went onto choosing a group of people that I could predict their deaths. I chose my art class and explained to them what I intended on doing. Then using a system whereby I wrote down different types of deaths and numbered them randomly, then got each person to chose a number, I paint what they had chosen. So that the series wasn’t of really similar deaths I made them all very different from being poisoned to freezing to death."

Helen Skinner talks abit about the piece she will exhibit in the show:
_______
"The work I’m displaying within this exhibition centers around the notion of escapism and different worlds. I'm using the narrative form of both literature and photography to display the worlds in which we can be sucked into or observe mentally whilst displaying them physically. Literature sucks you into a different world. One where anything is possible. I wanted to physically display this ‘world’ and so have installed a book onto the wall in which the text of the pages physically come to life -flowers are growing from the spine of the book. You are forced to read the text to understand the relevance of the flowers. Mirroring this I have photographs of bubbles. They can be perceived to be small, unique worlds of there own. They reflect that of what is around them and so encompass there own little world of reflections- each being different to another. The physical representation is displayed through a bubble gun being pumped at different intervals creating individual and unique bubbles reflecting there surrounding for the observer to encounter, just as they encounter the flowers growing out of the book. Therefore creating physical representations of two very different forms of what can be considered ‘worlds.’"

_______
"Inspired by Erin Petson, an illustator who uses mixed media and montage to create powerful fashion illustrations, i began to create various fashion images using pecil drawings on to paper, adding detial and colour using paints glue, pens, tape etc. In my work i wanted to use a number of materials, which i would then layer up, and college together, to make finals fashion illustration images. I wanted to add a personal element to my work, therfore began to use images of friends and relatives to produce textile pieces. I followed this by creating hand drawn images of my family and friends, onto different material, such as tracing paper, assetate, tissue paper, materials that were transparent, as i wanted each drawing to show through on the final image. After producing the final layer pieces, i decieded to present them in photo frames and photo albums, as this is were familiy photographs are usually found."
