Niamh Whisker (she/her) - Region of Discontent

In her project, Region of Discontent, Niamh explores parts of the North East of England that were most affected by deindustrialisation. The series specifically focuses on the area of Sunderland, where her father’s family are from. Niamh photographs locations where heavy industry work was most prevalent and chose to capture how these areas have recovered from the effects of Thatcherism by documenting what is in place now, compared to what once was. Niamh has created cyanotype prints of her work, linking the characteristic blue of that process to the waters of River Wear, in Sunderland that connects all of her chosen locations together.

Lauren Tossell (she/her) – Declowning

In her project, Declowning, Lauren engages in role play, symbolising the clown who ‘feels a fool’. She examines her own experience of allowing herself to be sexualised in the past and of changing herself to fit in with what she thought would make her more desirable to men and to please the male gaze. Now being a gay adult, she reflects upon her early teen years and uses her photography to openly question societal norms of that period.

Hayley Bennett – Bennett 04

With her project Bennett 04 Hayley explores notions of presence and absence created by the conditions of incarceration. The project explores her experience of the loss of her relationship with her absent father through enforced separation. The work is an assemblage which documents her father’s previous life through his everyday possessions and the personal effects left behind from his military days, his former hobbies and objects from his attic and tool shed. Hayley juxtaposes the past with her father’s present circumstances within the work. In a collaborative aspect of the project her father has contributed personal drawings, letters and conversations that reflect the status of their relationship, thereby providing an insight to the personal impact this separation has had on them both.

Gabriella Sorgente – “Beauty”

Gabriella Sorgente’s body of work is a response to her experiences of marginalisation in response to appearance. The artist herself has polycystic ovaries, that results in excessive body hair which, even in contemporary society, she believes is viewed as ‘ugly’. Her project, “Beauty”, is inspired by both historical and contemporary standards of beauty as she seeks to understand societal and cultural expectations. Within this series Gabriella aims to celebrate difference and to challenge societal norms.
