Artists Jonathan Comerford, Aimee Day & Paul Dewis were drawn together because of their homogenous observations of the urban landscape. Their individual interpretations of the urban environment are seen from three very distinct points of view and angle. These observations resonate through this collection of artwork. Refined images of recorded domestic space captured in time and place, layered macro and micro shapes appearing as light emitting cells to montage images of industrial detritus and landscape. These observations are further developed by the artist’s characteristic choice of printmaking techniques and drawings. The fusion of traditional printmaking process, digital prints and drawing makes for an exciting visual arrangement of artworks and exhibition.

Jonathan Comerford’s present work is a furtherance of images dealing with relocation influenced by global economics, politics, conflict or consumerism. The milieu in which the artist lives and works has influenced his use of objects such as, maps, road signage, industrial equipment, found objects and the wooden pallet to describe movement and change. As a universal form of shipping, Comerford’s use of the wooden pallet as key metaphor is to portray a craft or platform on which people or commodities are placed, to be delivered to set destinations.

Aimee Day’s working practice and theory relates directly to personal everyday situations. Time is a fundamental element in living, a measured expenditure of life. In her work she is continually recording ‘wasted time’ and the beauty and mystery of everyday living through recording observations of the city and her domestic environment.

Paul Dewis’ starting points for his current group of works are the words phototropic and phototactic. This is the attraction and orientation of an organism towards light. Windows, initially seen from a distance, have been isolated and greatly enlarged from the original source material to appear as photocytes, light emitting cells as seen through a microscope.
