David Ogle, 08019, 2013
Much of David Ogle's work to date has dealt with exploring notions of materiality, of permanence and of the perception of objects in space. Using light as a sculptural medium, his work is innately ephemeral. It begins as a set of strict mathematical procedures that are played out within an environment. The space simultaneously shapes the work and becomes manipulated by it.

Nicola Ellis, Raising the bar, 2014
Nicola Ellis is interested in the visual relationship between the man-made and the organic. The bespoke and the found. Recent works utlilise processes involved in metalworking with a particular focus on welding steel. The function of welding is explored through its use within sculpture and deliberated via non-metal materials and processes.

Stephen Iles, Untitled, 2013
Stephen Iles' practice is primarily concerned with the act of it's own making. Specialising within photograpghy, he operates within a rhetorical framework, where the search for a subject becomes the subject in itself and where the image becomes an endless loop of references and co-existences, Iles creates essentially unstable images, looking for what he calls a 'surface tension'.

Not so firm as faded ink: Nicola Dale
posted on 17 February 2015
Not so firm as faded ink is a touring exhibition by artist Nicola Dale, questioning the potential of knowledge versus the constraint of information. Commissioned and curated by Mark Devereux Projects, the exhibition will visit Centrespace Gallery (Bristol) in April before moving on to Arcadecardiff a month later.
Nicola Dale’s work responds to a recent Metal residency in Shanghai, focusing on its library (2013) and a series of residencies at the National Arts Education Archive at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2014). Her work visualizes the essence of what knowledge is and its transformation into information in a digital age. Through highlighting the ways in which we expect knowledge to be at our fingertips in our fast-paced society, Dale reduces the pace to consider the parallels between the ways we digest knowledge now and how we did so in the past.

posted on 2 March 2015
Mark Devereux Projects' Supported Artist Nicola Dale will undertake a six-month artist’s residency in the world-renowned Arthritis Research UK Centre for Excellence in Epidemiology (CfE), based within The University of Manchester. The residency’s focus will be the CfE’s sixty-year heritage, centred on the historic Lawrence/Kellgren X-ray collection that was used to develop the standard classification system for osteoarthritis. (John Lawrence was the first Director of the Centre for Epidemiology, 1954-1968.) Nicola will research this collection and other relevant archival materials in order to inspire new artwork.
