Conscience
Fumio Obata, Dolores Phelps and Georgina Hounsome’s research aims to highlight contemporary crises language alone often fails to address.
Fumio Obata’s project On the Palm of Unknown, at Beacon Museum in Whitehaven, Cumbria, makes surprising connections between the nuclear plants at Fukushima and Sellafield.
Georgina Hounsome: Entangling is an illustrative presentation of human behaviour and its effect on nature. It mirrors the idea of changing nature through behaviour through dense layering of largely word-free pages, in which digital drawing mutates and reconfigures ideas of trees, water and growth. The imagery offers a bleak echo of destruction through thoughtless behaviour and habit.
Dolores Phelps’ Instagram project My name is Aurelia is a narrative based on her mother’s experience as a Basque émigré to the UK escaping the Spanish Civil War, focusing on graphic visual language and the expression of emotion in illustration.
