Having grown up on a remote Hebridean Island and then moving to Edinburgh, I have based my work on the contrast of the two lifestyles. My Rural series is based on the open landscape that is exposed to the unforgiving elements and has a distinct feeling of solitude in its rough beauty. My Urban series focuses on city life and concentrates on the anonymity you feel after being in a small community. I work in print, oils, collage and charcoal."
 

Chris Kent is an artist based in Berwick upon Tweed and Edinburgh.

Each piece of furniture contained a narrative. I felt drawn to record these in words. Writing about intimacy, personal spaces. Collecting objects in boxes and making collages of paper and fabric on blocks of wood and in the privacy of small books. These are incomplete narratives about remarkable moments, deaths, lost love, broken promises; packaged intimacy set in quiet rooms and dark landscapes."
 
Chris Kent's work was also displayed at the 'Art on the Stairs' exhibition at the Maltings, Eastern Lane, Berwick-upon-Tweed.
 

Edd spent the few years prior to 2005 working and painting in the city of Bristol in the south west of England putting on exhibitions with "DIVERSION" arts co-operative.These paintings are taken from his last collection and are mostly of Bristol.

Alongside this Edd strives to show the relationship between nature and architecture. Simple shapes and block colour make up everything to reveal what he believes to be the beauties and sculpture of our modern cities.

I strongly believe in and practice the ethics of recycling and am excited that STIRnetwork enables me to harness these along with my talent and passion for creative arts."
