September Residency: New Moor (No More)

Jaron Hill is an artist and filmmaker based in Forest Hill. Since graduating from BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 2016, he’s found harmony splitting his time between South London and West Yorkshire. Using makeshift materials and improvised methods as tools for storytelling, he manifests moments of whimsy against familiar British backdrops, crafting narratives which unite the mundane with the absurd. His childhood love of fantasy fiction, framed by Northern working class, Caribbean and Irish Catholic values, has grown to become a relentless source of inspiration. Citing film and poetry as his primary mediums, Jaron describes his work as ‘synthetic, unsophisticated and nonsensically symbolic’

The Mysticism of Being -Jawara Alleyne

As someone who’s creative identity and sense of self has been shaped by three very different physical landscapes, I was…

A close up image of a white male with his face crudely painted in yellow and a green painted fake and overly large exaggerated noise with red lips, his eyes are crossed and he is holding up a lighter to light a roll up cigarette which he is holding between his lips. His hand is also smeared in the same yellow paint that is on his face, the paint is patchy on his hands. He is also sporting a beige towel on his head and appears to be wearing a dressing gown. In the background you can see blue skies with white clouds and greenery of trees and grass in the distance
