Diana Beltran Herrera

Diana Beltran Herrera  (b. 1987, Colombia) is a designer and artist that has been working over the past years with paper as the primary medium in the production of her work.  For Herrera, there is a considerable distance in the relationship between human and nature, and throughout her work, she aims to repair this relation by producing elements that are constantly removed, altered and forgotten. Her work is presented as a resistance where those sculptures remain in an ideal state and act like a model of representation of a reality that doesnt suffer any change.

George Douglas

Originally from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, George Douglas graduated with a BA in illustration from Edinburgh College of Art last year. 

"I almost never look for specific material to start an image, and only rarely will I go hunting for a certain piece of photographic material to finish a picture. One of the things I enjoy most about working through appropriation is the serendipity of it, and I try to let the things I find lead the images I make. Chance is the driving force of my practice. I do have an extensive library that I draw from, but I'm also constantly sourcing new printed material from which to steal. And the term 'printed material' must be stressed; I'm interested in physical things, ultimately."
