Luiza Jordan<\/strong><\/em>
\nLuiza works with space and architecture and explores the uses of material in relation to gender. Large immersive clusters of material evolve in raw, organic processes as her interventions attempt to find hidden connections between materials, spaces, buildings and architecture. By using places of transition, and situating her work in spaces with industrial and institutional sensibilities, she injects a sense of new, feminine, unbound and constantly mutating life.<\/p>\n

You can follow Luiza on Instagram here<\/a>.\u00a0And see her portfolio on her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tayler Goatier<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u201cDelicacy. A fragile object or an expensive cuisine. Both spheres colliding, creating both the beautiful and the brittle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tayler \u00a0works primarily in sculpture and installation. Being diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bones Disease) at the age of 1, Goatier spent the majority of her childhood in hospital making art. Her current practice explores disability. Using herself as her main source of research, she explains the physicality of her condition by using meringues as a metaphor for her fragility and constant reconstruction to her own skeleton.<\/p>\n

Tayler\u00a0is also a food blogger<\/a>. Her recent exhibitions include Reverberate<\/em>, The University of Kent, 2017 and WE ARE HUMAN-ISH, Canterbury, 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
