Kathy Oldridge
Kathy has a hybrid practice as an Artist and Partner in Antennae, (a Marketing Consultancy). In one way or another, her whole career has been about making things tangible – both through problem solving problem with people in order to give ideas a stronger presence, (as a brand, communication, or a sense of purpose in how to work together), and investigating how to use different means of perception to raise understanding of concepts and frameworks. Originally trained as a mathematician at The University of Warwick she more recently studied for her MA at Winchester School of Art. Increasingly she finds that everything overlaps.
Kristy Campbell
Kristy’s practice involves drawings, models, sculptures and installations exploring the vulnerability of the individual through notions of shelter/protection and exits/escape routes.

For this exhibition, Where Do you Draw the Line, the artists are launching a new experimental work: EXTRA-MURAL
The work aims to encourage participation and involvement during its production stage. The work challenges the notion of drawing on a number of points.
The traditional nature of drawing, using fine motor skills, to create a line or mark, is extended through using the whole body as a method for creating a line, track or trace of movement. Another preposition of drawing, is the canvas or drawing ground, in this project this is traditional ‘ground’ becomes the actual ground, or space where the drawing is created by participants walks.
extra- mural is an experimental opportunity for artists JD & MB to explore further the use of GPS as a tool for engagement and participation.
The work will have two elements, one as a gallery piece where participants data from GPS trackers will culminate in ‘revealing” a drawing on the gallery wall. The other element will make visible each individual participants journey as a line drawing and also contextualized on google earth. This part of the project will be available online.

Her practise is drawing predominantly digital drawing, sculptural & spatial drawing and animation. Katie explores Social Commentary, Desire, Fractured Narratives, and Mischievous fruitiness within a contemporary context.
Katie’s objects and protagonists are intimate yet playful, and are displayed as subversive narrative with a tongue and cheek curiosity. Each drawing takes on a diacritic approach.

Kate Grenyer
Kate Grenyer’s practice centres around the effect of fabricated environments on human interaction with the world – in particular interactions between humans, technology and nature. Her most recent work invokes the idea of loss and disasters whilst still using the same visual language developed throughout her practice as a multi-media artist.

Jo Hummel-Newell
Jo graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Animation in 2006. Whilst still exploring animation, Her practice is heavily concerned with Drawing and Collage. Obsessive mark making, Spontaneity, accident and embracing the ‘naive line’ are all continual themes with in her work. Jo’s Subject matter is often spurred by the findings of ephemera/prints and handwritten letters and these are often collaged into the work.

Greig Burgoyne
Greig Burgoynes’ main practice is wall drawings and are often large in scale. Influenced by manuscript painting, egyptian art, soviet propaganda , he seeks to explore the contradictory arena of our belief and value systems. Burgoyne does this through a large amount of visual scavenging. For this project he will be aiming to create a dialogue between the walls of the gallery, that both expounds the directness and immediacy of drawing, whilst challenging perceptions of physical space and psychological tension. Internal flux versus external notions of permanence, illusions of containment and security meet delusions of liberation and enslavement…he hopes….
Greig studied MA Painting at the Royal College of Art, London and the HAK, Vienna. He is Pathway Leader BA Fine Art at University for the Creative Arts, Farnham UK. Recent solo projects include: Decade Theatre 503 London(10), The Future of Nostalgia Jerwood Space London(09), 50 drawings to murder magic Centre for Recent Drawing London (09), Dilemmas of the upper world Vault Gallery Lancaster UK (09), Charm Offensive Quay Arts IOW UK (08)
His drawings are featured in the current issues of contemporary art journals Rubric and 20×20 magazine. Burgoyne’s work is in numerous private and public collections including Bank of Montreal, Canada, TI Group UK, DAAD Bonn Germany, The Russian State Museum, Stadt Mainz Germany, Swiss Bank Corporation and Agentur 42 Germany.
My current show ‘Back to the Future ‘ – a wall drawing, at Hastings Museum and Art gallery continues until 6th June 2010.
