PHIL HENDY
Phil has had many years working as a graphic designer with emphasis in photography and video. Originally from Bristol, he moved to London in the early ‘80s.
He studied at what was the London College of Printing and was taught by lecturer and independent film-maker, Steve Dwoskin later working and collaborating on his film projects at the time.
He was a BFI New Director in the first year of the competition in 1989 with a short surrealist film. He moved with his wife and son to Bath in 2008.
His personal photography often embeds a strong narrative element – sometimes surreal – a happening moment, photogenic characters, an alignment or juxtaposition which reveals an unexpected resonance or stark contrast between elements within the frame.
He feels that photography – especially street photography – needs to work harder than ever before to command attention and avoid dwelling on the mundane and common place.
He is a co-founder of PhotoBath.

JAMES NUNN
Drawing is at the core of my work. Like an excavation, starting a drawing is like uncovering something already there. On an abstract level I am interested in the fundamental act of mark-making and my subject matter, predominantly the natural world, is simply something to hang the marks on.
Each piece is an exploration of the drawing surface and the stuff that makes the mark, be it ink, charcoal, pastel or whatever comes to hand. In the process of printmaking the metaphor is extended as I literally cut away the surface to create the image. I love the process and the uncertainty of what will be revealed. However clear one’s intentions, there are always surprises.
