French Sculptor Quentin Garel's 'trophies' are carved sculpted and drawn animals. The realistic depiction of the animals body parts portray haunting narratives about life and death in the wild.

TROY MOTH, a photographer that I feel produces great compositions in his work, I have never before seen photographs of fire work so well. It is a very hard subject to represent. The photographs have a timeless stillness about them while maintaining a great energy. I like to contrast these images with moths still water scenes ,here the boundary between darkness and light is vast, it could be the start of the world or the end of it.

Currently working at the Mosaic Rooms, A charity founded gallery in Earls Court, I am involved with the current exhibition everyday. The exhibition, "SUCH STUFF AS DREAMS ARE MADE ON" is a two part show involving young artists from Palestine.The artists involved are the winners of a biennial award organized by the Qattan Foundation. The international jury includes the artists Rajie Cook, Emily Jacir and Raeda Sa'adeh, also the writers Jean Fisher and Hassan Khader. At the moment it is a great experience where there is much to do and many people to talk to. It is a very positive environment to work in. The artwork mostly is concerning different aspects of the artists lives in Palestine. An example is Ayed Arafah, who indulges himself in the idea of water and the sea. From his high perch on the hills of the city Ramallah in the west bank, he sees the horizon of the sea on a clear day. His piece of art here "horizon" is a set of plastic bags containing azure blue water suspended at eye level. A sure indicator of the pleasures that the sea may hold juxtaposed with the impossibility of getting to that sea which is always going to be too far away.

Some preliminary works by artist Sage Vaughn. Paintings, collages and drawings sketched onto brown envelopes become a loose ongoing sketchbook. The paintings done are closer to the source of what is to be achieved , the artist explains that they are 'much closer to the original impulse'to the bigger pieces he does for exhibitions. This way of working for my practice has given a thought. I like the idea that everything I have done so far is just a sketch. I am still in the long stage of exploration, which hopefully will not end soon.

Artist xia xiao wan embraces the new age of the 3D visual, but through a very conventional medium. His 3D paintings are a very subversive contemporary way of questioning our humanity. The different marks on each sheet of glass come together to produce a holographic looking image.
