A SONG FOR THE UNSETTLED

Jo Chew

Jo Chew is drawn to this image — a strange image of a bamboo ‘house’ covered in plastic and twine. Jo came across the image, and its story, by accident. But instantly saw potential in it as a metaphoric and poetic object. It speaks of the nomadic, of temporary shelter, of both the need to protect ourselves in our homes and the need to move on — or more specifically to move back to, or find, a home.

ROULETTE

Andrea Green

Andrea Green explores the biological and social restrictions that surround the female body in the contemporary age. Her work is a visual interrogation of the boundaries and experiences of modern-day femininity. Roulette is a personal response to over a decade of using the contraceptive pill. Circular forms are a strong visual theme in the body of work, as well as hand sewn items called Suffolk puffs. This work sits against the backdrop of global debates around bodily autonomy, equality, and women’s rights, and the ongoing nature of the struggle for an equal, respectful world.
