Margaret Scott
Artwork: 5 Times
Medium: Textile
Dimensions: 166 x 119cm
As a Visual Artist, Margaret’s work is created from the particularity of who she is: a black woman, a feminist, a daughter, a mother, an activist and a British Textile Artist.
Her Textiles and photographic collages often explore the politics of representation and the tensions and contradictions of a Black European or Black British identity.
Margaret’s large-scale works draw out the aesthetic and symbolic potential of the laborious process of felting.
Photography and specifically portraiture has played a key role in all her work. While many of the manipulated images become textiles, each series of work always generate ‘stand alone’ prints.
The catalyst for most of her recent work has been the shocking government statistics publicised last year about pregnancy and childbirth in the UK. The series called ‘Five Times more’ refers to the Data on black women who are five time more likely to die from causes related to pregnancy than white women.
The series currently includes 6 large Nuno felted textiles and several aluminium prints.

Olivia McEwan
Artwork: Bronze (II)
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 65 x 60cm
London based, Olivia trained as an art historian with a BA and MA from the Courtauld Institute (2011), and now uses oil painting as a discipline to similarly explore our continuing relationship with art from the past; most specifically the classical antique, the root of western art history.
Taking cues from surviving artefacts, she considers the plastic properties of these fragments of marble or bronze against modern ideas of display. Her painterly style deliberately contrasts the tactile materials of the fragments with surface textures that evoke photography, television, and other archival means that have been used throughout time to record them.
