Transmission Portfolio I
This portfolio of images shows the complete
prints for Transmission Portfolio 1 and
2 Transmission Print Portfolio builds and expands
upon Transmission Speaking Listening (a series
of Lectures and Publications edited by Dr Sharon
Kivland, Dr Jaspar Joseph-Lester and Lesley
Sanderson in conjunction with Site Gallery,
Sheffield). The work in the portfolio along side
the publications contribute to the critical
debates surrounding the hierarchical relationship
between visual, textual and spoken languages that
concerns the contemporary artist. The Invited
artists were asked to produce a limited print or
multiple in response to a particular theme.
Sneddon adopted the role of Curator/Collaborator
in order to facilitate the translation and
production of the work. The methods used in
realising the prints often involved incorporating
written and spoken instruction or the translation
of visual material. By using print and multiples
to illustrate the dialogue within the practice
the portfolios instigated a visual agenda that
allowed for new images to emerge. The
effectiveness and success of a print frequently
relied upon the successful understanding of the
different language used and the translation of
meaning.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Alice
Maude-RoxbyAlice Maude-Roxby's recent work
includes two interrelating bodies of research
performance photography and image/text sequences.
Within her own image text sequences (exhibited
as slide shows, photographs and books) she
selects sites to photograph (for example the
picture above which comes from a collaborative
photographic project with Faye Norman, was taken
at Heathrow Airport's Customs and Excise where
objects, which have been illegally brought into
this country, are held) and presents the
resultant sequences with text. Recent exhibitions
include 'The Map is not the Territory' England
and Co., London, 'Living and Working', Box,
Gothenburg and 'A Dictionary of Symbols'
Tangstation, Berlin

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Chloe
Brown Chloe Brown makes installations and
increasingly uses sound as a main component in
her work. Of particular interest is the filmic
notion of the freeze frame, whereby the image
stops but the sound continues. Her recent work
also touches upon melancholic situations via the
use of taxidermy, sound and fake snow.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Claude
Heath Claude Heath makes drawings by touching
rather than seeing his subject. His work attempts
to 'close the gap between feeling and seeing',
trying to pin down how to construct the visible
by eliminating it from his working process. His
work draws heavily on a philosophical
dialogue. In removing his sight, and primary
sense awareness, Heath is seeking to modify the
mind into a state of purely intuitive response,
where it may drift away from the strictures of
left-brain consciousness into the raw,
unmediated, sensory world of the right side. The
objects he translates, when successful, have come
through a genuinely abstracting, derationalising
process.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 DJ
Simpson Since graduating from Goldsmith's
College in 1998, DJ Simpson has developed his
unique paintings to great critical acclaim. His
large monochrome or mirrored plywood panels are
scarred in lines of various widths and depths
created using an electric router power tool. Like
a methodically violent version of an
Etch-a-Sketch game, the router carves paths
across the perfect surfaces of the panels
revealing differing layers and colours in the
overlapping surfaces of the wood. The resulting
panels are simple, intelligent and cool
examinations of painting and mark making that
belie their loud and painstaking creation. The
works play a balance between the academic
concerns of materials and processes, and the
purely physical presence of the huge electrically
scarred panels.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Erin
Moure Erin Moure is one of Canada?s most
respected and eminent poets. Her latest book O
Cidadan is a candid and passionate consideration
of citizenship viewed through the feminine. She
examines borders in language and in the body,
exploring ways in which we might rethink nation
and community in our era. Drawing on puns,
shadows, images, charts, crosswords, computer
generation, lyric and essay, Moures poetic form
belie any settled, safe habitation of the page -
extending the textual possibilities of language
and expression as she grapples with how we might
exist as citizens

Hegarty Over three decades her work has
constituted a series of subjective, yet

'grand' narratives of cultural and national
identity of emigration of the female body and
mortality. Her installations and videotapes have
been shown internationaly.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Grayson
Perry Everyone has some intellectual or
emotional baggage about pottery and Grayson Perry
depends on people bringing it with them when they
view his work. He is hoping that they might be
comforted and seduced by the classic shapes and
rich textures. Perry delivers uncomfortable
subjects by stealth. His retrospective exhibition
at the Stedelijk Museum , Amsterdam and the
Barbican Centre in London is called 'Guerrilla
Tactics' and included vases which dealt with the
construction of gender, the fallout from
childhood, war, crime, consumerism, fashion and
the art world all delivered under a smokescreen
of sumptuous lustre. Grayson Perry showed in
the 'British Art Show 5' (2000), in 'New Labour'
at the Saatchi Gallery and at Anthony d'Offay
Gallery (1997).

Nimki Jacques Nimki makes large, intricately
detailed drawings which contain hundreds of life
size depictions of weeds that are drawn or
painted from direct observation and copied from
the botanical world of gardening illustration,
plant guides and how to draw plant books.Nimki
works from the landscape, using plants as the
main inspiration. In the past three years he has
concentrated on drawing weeds and discarded
flowers that he finds in the urban environment,
discovering beauty in the overlooked and the
unconsidered. Each work is a record of a given
area in a particular time, a carefully
constructed record of what is regarded as
worthless and insignificant. ??These works can be
read as the narrative of colonisation and the
unwanted plants as the 'alien'. These large
drawings poigniantly discover a beauty in the
overlooked and unconsidered ?Jacques Nimki is
represented by The Approach, London , where he
recently had a solo exhibition.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Joan
Key Joan Key makes paintings and drawings, and
has over a period of years, worked with the
cellist Christopher Mansell using an exchange of
drawings and improvisation to produce a series of
musical texts. Although Key's paintings are not
text-based, her interest in the structure of
language and musical text is clearly evident.
Key's work concerns itself with the complexities
of systems we employ in our attempt to make sense
of the world. Joan Key showed in 'British Art
Show 5', (2000) 'Vivid painting from London and
New York ' (2001) 'Words for Harp text work for
Music' (2001) ' SLG Live Art 4' (2002). She is
represented by Richard Salmon Gallery, London.

Andrew SneddonTransmission Portfolio 1 Mark
Fairnington Mark Fairnington is a painter whose
subjects include tropical flowers, birds and
insects taken from photographic sources. The
dominance of photography and new media at the end
of the Twentieth century has stimulated a renewal
of interest in painterly mimicry. Mimicry also
exists in the natural world where its primary
function is to conceal, camouflage or deceive
predators, ensuring the survival of the species.
His paintings have an attention to detail which
suggests that their purpose is to reveal all, to
embody a whole view of the world, and yet they
conceal as much under their immaculately executed
surface.

Waller graduated from St Martins College of Art
in 1993 where he studied Film and Sculpture.His
ingenious and entertaining film works are located
in the meeting place of cinema and art, bringing
narrative concerns to video installation as well
as the critical concerns of fine art to his work
as a director.

Island in Bristol. ?She discussed a chronology of
works, starting with her hybrid memory maps of
1993 for which she asked people to draw a world
map from memory, using the drawings for paintings
titled after those who drew them and thus
performing a transition from the mind to the
page.

Wigglesworth Sarah Wigglesworth is principal of

readily available materials in a highly inventive
way. The best known demonstration of this
approach is the award-winning Straw Bale House
and Quilted Office in North London. The practice

Chelsea Flower Show and is currently working on a
classroom of the future (on which she is
collaborating with artist Susan Collins). She has
