Lorna Green
I am a sculptor and environmental artist whose main interest over is in Art in Public Places. I have worked throughout the U.K. as well as overseas in both urban and rural landscapes, indoors and outdoors and have made sculptures which have been both permanent and temporary. My sculpture is site specific in that it relates totally to the site taking into consideration the architecture, the landscape, the history, economy, ecology or mythology of the area. I use a wide variety of materials relevant to the project – wood, stone, bricks, steel, bronze, planting, rope, sand, water, glass, light, plastics, even feathers, silk flowers and drinks cans, and snow, etc. and enjoy working on both large and small scale.

My practice draws its inspiration from the relationship mankind has with the environment and the complete systems that we depend on. Current practice has taken me on an investigation of A Matter of Life and Death; using garden environs as test beds, I am exploring the complex systems and life cycles that occur in nature and that we as a species depend on. This has taken me into experiments with permaculture, sustainability and seed saving.
With a background in landscape design, I am also interested in how mapping and recording our environment contributes to our attitude to the environment around us. I am specifically interested in artists’ gardens as metaphors for environmental issues and the boundaries between art and horticultural worlds, with a view to exploring sensual engagement both in the act of creating and experiencing gardens.

I am a visual artist living and working in the North west of England . I currently work as a Senior Printmaking Technician and co-leader of Artlab Contemporary Print Studios at the University of Central Lancashire. My continued research into alternative acrylic based printmaking has led me to undertake research with The Bluecoat in Liverpool as well as initiating several collaborative exhibitions and research projects between other International printmaking studios.
In 2010 I completed a residency at The Centre of Contemporary Art in Preston and the resulting works were shown over a 4 week period. The Installation works from this residency were shown in the Liverpool Biennial at the Wolstenholme Creative Space, during the long night of the Museums.
During April 2011 I took part in the International residency programme at Pyramid Atlantic, Washington DC, the resulting works will be shown in Washington DC in December 2011.

experimental weed installation

Basement membrane by Tracy Hill
This installation consists of 10 hanging screen prints on Kozo (Mulberry) paper with hand cut sections running through out. The panels have multiple printed layers on both sides inviting the viewer to consider the narratives of those places through time, moving around the pieces our perspectives are altered. In the same way that what you see walking through the landscape looks completely different on your return journey.

Lifelines by Tracy Hill
Along the way 6 hanging screen prints on kozo paper with hand cut sections on linked panels; a moving projection glides down in constant motion, light streams through cut out pathways creating new maps and journeys across the walls and surrounding floor. It is a response to those surprising spaces which have been forgotten. Space on the edge of rivers, canals and housing are often pockets of wildness, these areas are not considered on conventional plan maps and yet account for thousands of square miles across Britain.

Footnotes by Tracy Hill
A floor installation of 30 plaster prints. New technologies expand the possibilities of how to view the world and how we map it ; this work invites questions about scale and how we place ourselves in the world in relation to our maps. 'Out of one territory, one map can bloom a thousand geographies.'

My work is driven by everyday life and often addresses our unacknowledged response to it. It brings attention to our sometimes hidden emotions, and actively seeks to restore balance and harmony.
Primarily, as a maker, my intention is to find and develop equilibrium within myself, through the creative process. The practice of facing dilemmas and purposefully bringing them to the fore rests on the coordination of body, mind and emotions. Slow production time, the use of hand tools, familiar methods and traditional materials, creates a space for the idea to develop. The end result becomes a coherent expression of resolution; an harmonious dialogue between the inner and outer worlds.
A lifelong interest in the linking of personal development with creative practice was formalised by 4 years of study which led to a BA(Hons) degree in Interactive Arts from Manchester Metropolitan University.
