I began using conventional methods of painting the beach views and patterns, then moved to texture paste to try and recreate them in relief, and even making worm casts from string. Never quite being able to capture the amazing, transient patterns when the tide receded, I decided to print directly print off the beach, using charcoal powder. I needed a medium that has little or no detriment to the environment. I just loved the raw quality of the prints which still seem to retain the very essence of the sea. Developing the organic theme further I have used cuttlefish ink to print various seaweeds The possibilities are endless trees that draw and paint in the wind, the meanderings of top shells as they munch their way across the paper.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e" }, "relations" : { } } ,{ "Name":"Bozena Pollock", "previousID":"1431", "docType":"talent", "parentPageId":1219, "mediaNode":1737, "strings" : { "lastUpdate":"7/25/2023 1:53:58 PM", "previousURL":"/talent/bozena-pollock/", "title":"Bozena Pollock", "navigationName":"Bozena Pollock", "excerpt":"Bozena Pollock is a locally based artist and painter.

This link led to thoughts of symmetry hence the Celtic pattern which evolves from rotated images. Scottish research led me to the illuminated ‘Book of Kells’ and the Celtic patterns contained within it. This style inspired my entire project.

The words that I generated by the set process were: her, latest, breeding, barren and separate. One of my early, but unresolved ideas was to use the word ‘barren’. I planned to create a central design of the word using Japanese Calligraphic characters. These would be surrounded by abstracted forms which would represent the result of the devastation caused by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. However, this exploration led to the revival of my fascination with Japanese calligraphic form and at this point I realised that I wanted to change direction and follow my instinct to further develop my work on the calligraphic forms of the Hiragana alphabet.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePreviously, in 2006, my painting and drawing techniques had been severely affected by an injury that had reduced the strength of my left arm. As I am left-handed I was unable to hold a pencil, pen or paint brush in the normal way. I developed a method of painting by holding a barbeque skewer in an upright position in my left hand, whilst supporting it with my right hand. I was then able to apply the paint in small dots rather like stippling. Thus I established a painting technique that I have been using ever since. I also used this ‘stippling’ technique for the pen and ink work that features in most of the pieces in this exhibition.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe majority of the pieces have no bearing on realistic imagery.

Often stating, that he never intended to become a photographer, even an amateur, let alone someone who, for a few years relied on his images, entirely, for income, Chris tells an interesting story. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne that speaks volumes about his dedication, determination and competitive spirit. As a child and young man, Chris was deliriously happy. He was active and prominent in sports and music, locally, and loved the outdoors; fishing and birdwatching were just two of his favourite things!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, by the time, he’d reached 35 he no longer partook in any of these \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epastimes, worked a job he didn’t like and spent too much time and money in the pub and the bookies. He also lived away from his beloved Island home, Guernsey. It was during this time, when he was feeling particularly low, that he wrote two lists which proved to be a pivotal point in his eventual life choices.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, Chris noted down all the activities that had made him such a happy and content child and, secondly, a list of all the things that had helped him become such a miserable and unfulfilled grown up!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris continued with the Kodak for a while longer but soon realised an upgrade, in gear, would be necessary. Only, once he was satisfied that he’d done all he could with his very modest camera and could justify the expense, of course. One of Chris’s mantras is ‘to upgrade one’s skills before upgrading one’s equipment’. So, into the heady world of DSLR’s he ventured. Armed with a Canon 40d attached to a Sigma 50-500 mm telephoto lens. Chris decided early on in this partnership that he was going to shoot everything in manual mode. He knew he’d get some things wrong, miss opportunities and generally be all fingers and thumbs, from time to time, but soon learnt that every missed chance or glaring mistake helped him improve that little bit quicker!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy now bird photography was, actually, all he ever thought about. Having a longer focal length was a game changer, for sure, but all the hours of field craft without the luxury of focal reach meant he’d become very good at being in the right place at the right time and that was always going to be a huge part of what he wanted to do. So, as the photography ‘know how’ developed with it came those first few ‘decent’ shots. For the first time, he felt like a photographer and that feeling was immense and very addictive! \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this point forward Chris never stopped learning and despite selling all his gear and not picking up a camera for a couple of years, whilst dealing with a family bereavement, he has constantly sought to improve as a person and as a ‘tog’. When he did start again it was like starting anew. Inspired, determined and keen to re-establish himself Chris felt that in this digital age we’d become totally immersed by online images. Slaves to the ‘like’ button, if you will. So, he consciously decided to keep his portfolio ticking over and keep it in print. This, in his mind, would act as a tangible hall mark of quality. It is easy to get an image to look good in online dimensions but printing often shows up the flaws. This is what drove Chris to improve as he always found far more satisfaction with how his images looked in print than sharing them online. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis commitment to printing is how he ended up selling them, exhibiting them and seeing them frequently printed in various national and international publications over the years.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris continues to push his hobby to the extreme and has some exciting plans for the coming months and years. Re-branding with a new website, that is in the making, his Youtube Channel and the proposed re-opening of his shop, The Bird Box! 2022 is, indeed, set to be a busy one for the original Guernsey Bird Nerd. To be kick-starting it all with this exhibition, a few talks and some primary school visits puts Chris exactly where he wants to be. Sharing his photos, his experiences and his know how, so that we might all learn about and take care of our Islands and their wildlife, for generations to come.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis moment of brutal honesty made his next decisions far easier! By simply choosing a few things from the ‘happy’ list to replace a few of the things on the ‘miserable’ list, Chris began to transform his life. After about 2 years his daily routine, outlook and demeanour looked very different. A new job at a school for autistic children, a move away from a relationship that had stagnated and much less time and money in pubs and bookies. A new hobby was also beginning to dominate his waking hours…..photography. Very amateur nature photography.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 10x zoom Kodak was his first camera with the idea, at that time, to take record photos of the birds he saw when out walking. He’d then use them for reference online, to help identify them later. The images he was taking were appalling (by his standards, now) but good enough for their purpose. However, whilst searching online for images Chris was seduced by the hundreds of superb shots; vibrant in colour and pin sharp things of beauty. A stark contrast to his initial, feeble attempts. This began to creep into his consciousness and he found himself thinking about new places to go and species to find, or what clothes he could wear. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering sitting still, hiding and waiting all by way of improving his lowly shots. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt began to pay off and his images although still poor were gradually becoming less poor. This led, to another epiphany and Chris began to look at his camera and think is there something he could be doing to reduce the blur or make things brighter or less bright as was sometimes the case? And so it began…..reading manuals, blogs and seeking advice from those who knew better.\u003c/p\u003e" }, "relations" : { } } ,{ "Name":"Chris Simcox", "previousID":"5134", "docType":"talent", "parentPageId":1219, "mediaNode":1737, "strings" : { "lastUpdate":"7/21/2022 2:09:35 PM", "previousURL":"/talent/chris-simcox/", "title":"Chris Simcox", "navigationName":"Chris Simcox", "excerpt":"It’s all about the act of ‘play’ and embracing the speculatory.", "phone":"", "email":"info@chrissimcox.com", "address":"", "mapURL":"", "website":"https://www.chrissimcox.com/about-1", "latitude":"", "longitude":"", "xURL":"", "facebookURL":"", "instagramURL":"https://www.instagram.com/chris_rj_simcox/", "metaDescription":"", "metaTitle":"", "itemCategories":"umb://document/a00a963d860e41a5ae9e522fd44ac537", "heroItem":0, "featuredItem":1, "pinnedItem":0 }, "photos" : { "featuredImage":"/media/s0jizhet/concept_shards_w1920xh1920.jpg", "profileImage":"/media/ui0h2mwu/screenshot-2022-02-16-at-13-55-40.jpg" }, "blocklist" : { }, "rtes" : { "bodyText":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s all about the act of ‘play’ and embracing the speculatory.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This is an attempt to connect objects, made structures within a site-specific space.

I’m pretty sure it was a way of keeping us busy and quiet, but the side effect was we both learnt a lot about colour and interpretation from an early age and also learnt to love art! (I won’t bring up the mock boxing ring they used to set up for us when we were fighting.. but Michelle is still one of my favourite people!) \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was lucky enough to attend a high school in Harare with an incredible art department, and was \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efortunate  to have a teacher who gave everything she had to give to her class, and as a result most of us received A’s for our O levels.

This is the period where I built up the courage to tackle “faces” because it’s the one aspect of art where you’re either “right or wrong!”  ( well that’s my opinion, anyway) I absolutely love portraiture, especially painting eyes. I love abstracts too, and that’s how some of my portraits evolved into abstract faces, but I am hell bent on making sure the person is still recognisable even if they are a swirl of unusual colours and shapes. My happiest days are spent painting, with my favourite music floating around me, I lose track of time completely. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly in my career  I received commissions  to paint high profile South African  politicians, including Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Jacob Zuma and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. I wasn’t sure my zoomed in/close up, huge face studies would be well received; however my fears were allayed when the Oliver Tambo portrait, which is massive and entirely Mr Tambo’s face, was chosen to hang in The \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThabo Mbeki Presidential Library. The other large portraits also hang in prominent parliamentary buildings. So my love of faces has paid off! \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy goal is to get back to painting full time, my happy place is in front of an easel.

I build structures and photograph them in confined spaces, exploring how light and material influence each other visually.

I chose the title of Equilibrium, as I feel it describes the project best - I am pulling elements together like a gravitational force. This can be seen in the weight of the objects in my photographs. Equilibrium in physics describes an unchanging constant; through reflection, duplication and repetition, the art folds into itself and revolves around itself as the subject. A collection of disparate elements are drawn to each other. It is an exploration of the relationship between the mind and the physical world.
