Carl Moore is a British artist whose work treads the fine line between comedy and tragedy, often infused with a touch of the absurd. His “Dripsters” series is a striking exploration of nature’s commodification—each animal, chosen for its bold and recognisable markings, is distilled into pure drips of colour, echoing the rigid structure of a barcode. These works serve as a commentary on the erosion of the natural world in the postmodern era.

Carola van Dyke’s chosen medium is thread, which she uses to explore her fascination with colour, textures, mismatches, layers and light. Her current work focusses on flowers & plants and their preservation, a recurring theme from her earliest experimentation with flower presses as a child, to more recent creations of funerary keepsakes. The multitude of fine ‘marks’ and threads that make up each piece convey a sense of ephemerality that lies in contrast to the permanency that the act of preservation aims to achieve.
