Opus Interiors

Sculpture artist Steven Dryden draws his influences from existentialist writers such as Albert Camus, as he attempts to search for meaning in contemporary society. Dryden mixes materials, using plaster, metal and even straw to create his human forms. The impact of his work is derived from the dream-like thought processes which his pieces manage to objectify: with works entitled 'unended' and 'unjoy', Dryden's works possess an intriguing uneasiness. Having exhibited with Opus last year his sculptures have already sold to collectors in Singapore and the North-East.

The work of Olov Taul experiments with various random scrap materials - from metal to glass - as he begins to create a piece, improvising as the work progresses and develops. Olov's constant collecting of emotive images from second-hand books, newspapers, or elsewhere give his work a strong sense of the personal, and invest each piece with visually powerful emotion.

Photographer Amie Nowlan uses a basic pinhole camera with various other techniques in combination - including the use of liquid light emulsion on a variety of surfaces to manipulate shadows - to create her striking images. Playing with the notion of time, Nowlan depicts scenes which are snapshots of a narrative, inviting her audience to consider: what happens next?
