Artists Biography’s

Joseph Barrett.

Is a photographer whose process combines traditional and modern methods, predominantly working with analogue cameras and various printing processes to develop an image before digitalisation.

Driven toward storytelling and narrative through portraiture and still life, the context of Joseph's works revolves around social studies, with a focus on human interaction and behaviour. 

In 2023, he self-published my debut photo book 'Rock Soft', a series of images made in Palestine depicting the inexplicable warmth of local interaction contrasted against the political landscape.

Carlotta Cardana

Is an Italian editorial and commercial photographer based in London. In her personal practice, she looks at how communities are affected by economic upheaval and oppression, indigenous communities, the relationship between humans and their environment and at how one’s identity is shaped by the society and space he/she inhabits, such as among minorities or subcultures.

Carlotta’s work has been awarded and exhibited in numerous international galleries and festivals and is included in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery and the Parliamentary Art Collection. She is a regular contributor to publications such as Bloomberg, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine, The Guardian Weekend.

Tyler Eash

Tyler Eash (1988, Turtle Island), is an artist, poet, and performer working in London, UK, and the forests of the Maidu in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of so-called California. As a queer indigenous 2 Spirit, their work engages the medium of identity as the last frontier of true sovereignty. In their practice, the body is presented as a working document, an avatar to represent the desires of a post-capitalist, post-colonial, post-gender self, becoming an interface between their Indigenous world view and the anglo-colonial realms of high culture. Eash explores this frontier in a post- disciplinary fashion, using photography, sculpture, drawing, painting, film, music, poetry and performance as a means to reclaim space and an identity at odds with the contemporary.

Selected solo exhibitions include All the World’s Horses, NıCOLETTı, London, UK (forthcoming 2023), Channel 1, Further, San Francisco, CA, TI (2022); Marysville, Oh Holy Land, Kupfer Projects, London, UK (2022); Marysville, Oh Holy Land, Four Fourteen Gallery, Marysville, CA, TI (2022); Lilies in the Headlights (with Roxman Gatt) curated by Giulia Menegale, London, UK (2021); Loreum, NICOLETTI, London, UK (2020), and Mountain, B. Dewitt Gallery, London, UK (2019).
