A-FL's Rock Paper Scissors offers a linguistic sleight of hand. In response to the classic game of gestures, usually associated with anticipation and second-guessing, he provides a surprise which deflates the game's competition.

Naomi Harwin's Assemblage of Shadows takes a fleeting, momentary observation and gives its a prominent place to be looked at, reconfigured, or disassembled. 

Kate Terry's Happy Face  gives an invite array of possibilities to the viewer, but playfully draws us towards producing and recognising human faces in the forms created.  

Claire Undy's multiple is a double-sided work on paper, which can be opened and stood in a variety of configurations. It shows the artist stretching and becoming contorted, juggling everyday life. The image cannot be laid flat, except when it is folded down into its smallest configuration as a square.

Using cast and painted letterforms, Leo Fitzmaurice's sculptures present words organised as small scale vertical stacked sculptures, as  language made matter. Produced as individual works in small groups or gangs using the same letters, each work produces and thwarts a chain of communication and information.
