Daisy Hughes:
I don't see myself as a poet. I barely see myself as an artist. Bringing together words and photography has simply been a way for me to reflect on how landscape and language have overlapped in shaping me both in my old home and my new one.

Martha Peretto-Wills:
My photographs for this exhibition were taken a few years ago when I was wandering around the cities of Tashkent and Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Most photography of Uzbekistan that you find online or in books tends to be of the mosque and mausoleum complexes in Samarkand. Although they're incredible architectural works (and I can't deny having taken a lot of photos of them, too), they don't particularly give the impression that Uzbekistan is a real place, or anything other than a preserved slice of Silk-Road history.

My aims in taking these pictures were to photograph modern-day Uzbekistan as a genuine, three-dimensional place, without romanticising it, and (on a slightly more technical level) to experiment with the shadows and angles which were so easy to find in the architecture there.

Bethan Kitchen:
A few months ago I knew I'd entered a place darker than I might ever find again. I was driven into this place by a change in my life that I thought would never happen, could never possibly happen. This collection is interested in the process of the physical changes we see in ourselves when something is removed from our emotional life, when you hurt so much that you lose interest in your physical health, and soon can't recognise yourself in the mirror. It's a day to day documentation of my physical state as I moved through and out of a dark place. I knew every day would change me, in a way that it wouldn't ever again. I was landing back into myself.

David Godwin:
I want to create beautiful and simple images. It’s all about the subject, nothing about the equipment.

The photographs for this exhibition are of the seaside town Westward Ho!, a holiday destination for my family and my mother’s family before me. I've attempted to capture the meeting of the land and the sea and the interactions between light and water reflections, and buildings within the natural landscape.

Justina Kehinde Ogunseitan:

The second of twins, the youngest of eight, passionate about justice and the world's social state. Jazz singer, public speaker and poetic dreamer forever on the brink of conceiving a profound idea that always seems to disappear just when the pen is removed from behind her ear. 2012 Benjamin Zephaniah Poetry Award Winner, Justina Kehinde has recently released two YouTube poetry videos on her identity as a British Nigerian and the Sex Trafficking Industry. She is currently a Hammer and Tongue Semi-Finalist (competition still running) and a featured poet at the Lyric Theatre's upcoming Lyric Lounge Event on Censorship, 28th June, London.

Mark Wartenberg:
Mark Wartenberg is a finalist English student whose poetry has featured in Hatch and Make This Space. His poetry often links the visceral to the emotional, and is more paratactic and imagistic than narrative.

Henry St. Leger-Davey:
Henry is a first year English student always trying to write poetry. His former writing has appeared in the creative magazine Notes, and in dramatic writing events Polis, Hatch, and Pace. His latest piece, 'Land as Text as Music as Arranged', has an eye to bridge his usual poetry with focus on its sound. It is an experiment in adding or removing vowels or consonants for an easier flow. A recording of the poem will be played, hopefully to some effect.
