anne rees-mogg

A patriotic rendering of all the verses of God Save the Queen with some Victorian lantern slides











made films about memory, family ties, time, the movement of time. they reference art history, stories of slide projection, time capsules, they look like forgotten family snaps in the spine of a book or old letters that have been wedged somewhere to stop a draft in the 1970s.

Teresita Dennis

Teresitsa Dennis uses opposite colours to create a vibration in pattern. They look like something sinister you might find in a petri dish.. luxurious insects all stuck together

Dennis uses her hands directly to make a first series of marks, then works back into the spaces in between with a brush. In Wanting we see a repeated black shape — something like a heart or a woman’s bottom — with clear indentations where Dennis’s fingers have smeared their way through the paint. The gaps are edged with reds, oranges and yellows; the overall effect suggests smouldering embers, something frighteningly hot.
