TWOISM by MTICH
’s to say a walk down an unlit street can solely occur as “beautiful" in the subjective mind?
Do my thoughts and ideas really exist without expression? And if expressed in isolation, will they serve any purpose?
Twoism is a body of work reflecting personal connections I’ve encountered in this past year. Through them I have come to grasp the importance of communication. In an exploration of medium and styles, my work aims to bridge the gap between documentation of the visual sense and the emotional connection to the subject.

From the outset, Ramak's desire to specialise in photography has been driven by her interest in capturing peoples' everyday lives. People, life and colour have always inspired her photographic work. Through her works she builds relationships with people, discovers emotions, intentions and places she never would otherwise be able to access without her camera.

‘In Pain’ is a series, exploring the subject of suffering. Pain is a universal human experience. Pain is defined as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage." Pain may be a symptom of an underlying disease or disorder, or a disorder in its own right. Although pain is a universal experience, it is also a complex one. It is often silent and unseen but present. While the physical sensations involved in pain may be constant throughout history, the ways in which humans express and treat pain are shaped by their respective cultures and societies.

EXPLORATIONS IN INK by NAOMI WALLER
Deciding to take a detour from my normal routine and art practice I started working in coloured drawing inks. The vibrancy of colour inspired me to stop constructing every element of the work in my mind and to just allow the work to unfold as it needed to. Challenging myself to release some control over the work I was producing and accepting the imperfect watery edges the inks create. Mixing this new way of working with my love of paper cut and layered acetate ink drawings has created something interesting and playful.
