F/ocal Length

About

f/ocal length consists of a show reel of video and animation. The concept of f/ocal length is to provide a snapshot of work by contemporary artists working with the moving image. The title of the exhibition reflects the fact that the distance of these artists (their 'focal length') from North Wales may vary, but that their artistic practice has nevertheless been influenced by the region.

Irish artist Cecily Brennan is preoccupied with the vulnerability of the human psyche in her work and a still image from her video clip 'Unstrung' 2007 is shown overleaf. Heather Phillipson works with moving image, sound and live events and is also a poet. Jessica Lloyd-Jones merges art, science and technology to reveal new perspectives on the world in which we live. The showreel also consists of work by GlyndŠ µr University Lecturer in Fine Art Tracy Piper-Wright, Richard Smith who lectures in Audio/Visual Studio Recording Technologies, Yvonne Eckersley who specialises in Design Communication and a selection of work by GlyndŠ µr University Students from the School of Art & Design.
