Masoud Akhavanjam was born in Tehran, Iran. Whilst at school, he took classes to
make ceramic sculptures. Later with the knowledge gained through working in his
father’s manufacturing business, and his interest in sculpture, he established his
own workshop, making his first bronze piece in 2011. Masoud works in mirror
polished stainless steel and bronze. His finely crafted figurative and abstract
sculptures, often portraying current day paradoxes, balance the inherent strength
of the materials with the delicacies of the cast form.

Julia Florence is a ceramicist, who trained in Illustration at Falmouth University and
drawing at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, before discovering
ceramics. Inspired by the people around her, her love of life drawing and the female
form, Julia’s ceramics, made from locally sourced clay, are each imbued with a
subtle, tactile quality. She lives and works in Cornwall.

Danny Romeril studied Fine Art at Central St Martins College in London. He has taken
part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in his native Jersey, as well as London,
Australia, Germany and the United States. Danny now lives and works in London.
Drawn from a deep and broad love of music Danny’s works don’t aim to interpret or
represent specific types of music or songs but instead try to stand in for music, not
as a replacement but as a placeholder for it by exploring the visuals for something
that is totally audio based.

Marion Taylor’s series “That’s how the light gets in” is inspired by Leonard Cohen’s
song, Anthem. Abstract in form, the series concerns the contrasts of light and dark
and the resilience of the human spirit. According to Marion, “Cohen’s words went
straight to the essence of these emotions.”
