ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ

 is a British artist interested in nature, time and histories. She often works with chalk and in the picture below, Urdolmen II, she uses blackboard paint on a black and white photograph of stones to isolate the stones from their landscape.

This elevates the simple material qualities of rock, as both the subject matter of her image but also as the tool with which she works.

British multimedia artist often explores the idea of play and change in his artwork.

In the artwork Because of Love, he weaves his frame into the image using colourful thread, rather than simply using the frame as a way to contain it

was a Swedish-Norwegian artist who became primarily known for her weavings. Weaving interested her because of its traditional association with folk art, and because she felt it had political importance as an artform.

She used her artwork to speak out against social injustice including the rise of Nazism and the horrors of war. She lived in and with nature, making her own yarns by spinning wool and dying it with plants that grew around her.

i screamed
sprinted to the sea
flung off shoes and socks
ran towards imagined heaving waves
and jumped each tiny trickle that I found there
with just the same excitement

you stayed back
took your socks off more timidly
giggled at your stupid mother
eventually took my hand

we jumped together
and we jumped together
and we jumped together

three hours later
collapsing on our backs
we made angels in the sand

the seaside always made me
want to scream

now
with you
i can
