Carne Griffiths works in tea, brandy, whisky, vodka and inks in his expressive figurative work. He applies the inks and alcohol first, then after these layers are dry he adorns intricate patterns to his pieces using coloured pens.

Ink is the chosen medium of Joni Belaruski's work, she toys with human and animal figures in this medium which results in quite macabre imagery. She also uses hatching which I'm interested in as an alternative to traditional shading.

Kate MacDowell's porcelain sculptures explores mans detrimental impact on the natural world. This friction between mans contemporary lifestyle and the natural world is captured breathtakingly in these intricate porcelain pieces. MacDowell chooses porcelain as a medium for its fragile quality which further emphasises the message behind her work.
