Gaz Lawrence is an interdisciplinary artist based in Bristol. Lawrence’s practice spans ink, oil, acrylic and spray paint to create expressive figurative works that explore the intersection of science, technology and art. Collaborating with astrophysicist Dr Sebastian Von Hausegger, Lawrence experiments with infrared as a medium, extending his enquiry into perception and representation. These are experimental works designed to be viewed only through an IR camera, appearing black to the naked eye. The project invites viewers to engage with principles of physics and non-visible light spectra, fostering curiosity and understanding of exoplanet detection while extending Herschel’s legacy. With the James Webb Space Telescope’s first exoplanet discovery using infrared light in 2025, this is a pivotal moment to present artworks that reveal hidden landscapes beyond the reach of visible light.
Gemma Wilson is a South London-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily with ceramics and textiles. Drawing on hand-building, scanography and collage, her works take inspiration from anatomy, cartography and flora. With an emphasis on sustainability, Wilson creates flatter, kiln-efficient ceramic pieces, experiments with Egyptian paste, and incorporates found and waste materials into her practice. The Cyclical Nature of Trying to Add Something New to Your Brain explores the connections between ceramic, stitch, and fabric. Marbled pink, red, and white slipped ceramics combine with blue and yellow pebble-like Egyptian paste, while thread winds through the objects to create a continuous cycle across the piece. The work moves through a world of abstracted biomorphic forms, asking whether play itself can be a pathway to joy for the viewer.
George Oakes is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans print, experimental darkroom processes and digital media. His work explores expanded cinema, visual music, community and identity. Originally from Manchester, Oakes is influenced by the communal ethos of electronic music, examining how inclusive creative spaces can lower social barriers and offer more accessible ways of experiencing art. Untitled (Chill Out) explores the aesthetic and psychological potential of the banal. The audiovisual installation uses everyday imagery such as airport corridors and pigeons pacing concrete squares to evoke quiet dislocation and escape. Participants sit within the projection’s path, letting the imagery wash over them to nurture contemplative engagement with space. Chill Out reflects on the accelerating pace of the contemporary world, urging moments of slowing down and reflection.
Gaynor Perry is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist from Hull, East Yorkshire, working across painting, photography, film, music, and poetry. Through painting, film, and poetic composition, Perry evokes dreamlike realms where nature and perception intertwine. Guided by intuition, Perry seeks to open sensory and emotional dialogue, offering a contemplative presence in contemporary art. Discovering Projektis is a poetic exploration of AI’s inner workings, guided by human introspection. Based on 1999 diary entries, the work prompts AI to mirror personal reflections on awareness, existence, and time. Narration and black-and-white photography of rural pathways ground it in human experience. Discovering Projektis meditates on identity, transmission, and unseen forces shaping self and society.
