SAM ROCK - PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILM MAKER

UK

Originating from Yorkshire, England, Sam Rock (b. 1987) is a photographer and film maker primarily based in London.

Rock’s imagery leans on his dedication and investigation of the expansive language of the medium in order to continuously evolve and maintain a fresh development of his work over time. Rock allows for time and intuition to craft photographs that excavate the mundane and nostalgia from the core of society. His work is characterised by a unique colour palate, romanticism and conversation between himself, his subject and their collaborators.

Rock is a regular contributor for magazines such as i-D and M Le Monde but is taking time away from editorial photography to concentrate on personal collections of work that have been evolving over many years. He is currently focused on exploring new approaches to the medium in order to expand attitudes within his output. 

During his time in residence, Sam worked on his writing, edit his upcoming photography book and explored the island and habitants taking new photos

SALLY BURCH - CONTEMPORARY FINE ART

UK

REALITY:  experienced, abstracted and reimagined

I have spent time drawing inspiration from the local Essex landscape and turning the visual cues into a personal abstract, artistic language made of geometric structuring, mark-making and patterning.  My paintings scramble together snippets of this information with other experienced places, both physical and virtual, to present a ‘compilation landscape’. A reconstructed, collaged tableaux of nowhere, but with the perception of being somewhere.  After all, it was Plato who said that beauty lies not in the real world but in geometry. Albeit my work is not calculated but intuitive and expressionistic.

The selection of hues, their location and worked surfaces are decisive factors. Layering paint or exposing the substrate, heighten the patterning and mark-making to produce a colour conversation.

Concerns that feed into my work, although perhaps under the radar include; ‘boundaries’, the physical, territorial and arbitrary lines that denote ownership: and “climate’ the pollution and destruction of our time on this planet and what we leave as our legacy.

During her time in residence, Sally worked experienced painting playing with the natural environment, such as rain, to generate different non controlled effects in her work. The same with photography, taking day to day objects and working with the shades and lights the sunlight will produce, and also with nature objects found in the area with close up visions.

All her work will be edited to become part of a new book.
