| Wakeham, Penelope (Fine Art) E only My work is about the way computer images are created in layers of transparent coloured light and viewed through one layer to another.

| Walker Ann (Fine Art) E only I commence my work initially in an intuitive way, whilst alone in my own personal environment or in a chosen place, capturing images, which respond to memories of past experiences, personal relationships and emotions.

| Yates, Ben (Fine Art) E only The basis of my work is in photography, but the addition of a third dimension gives each piece an originality otherwise lacking in the medium. Each extruded picture becomes an abstract colour study, or an optical illusion, changing appearance as the viewer walks around it. The grid pattern formed by the blocks draws the eye around the construction of the piece, engaging the viewer in an exploration of the subject. |
| Yeh, Rose-marie (Fine Art) E only Through working I have come to realise it is the spaces in between which are important; the empty places created - the moments between concrete thoughts and dreams.. |
