Engagement Commission Spike Island, FORECAST
FORECAST is an Engagement commission by Rachal Bradley, developed over the past year in collaboration with emerging West of England-based artists and Creative Youth Network alumni Carlo Hornilla, Tommy Howlett, Lauren Jeffery and Calum McCutcheon. Reflecting upon the underlying functions of the psyche, the body and where these meet the reality around us, FORECAST comprises a video work exploring the collective consciousness of crows and a mirrored pavilion sculpture suspended from the gallery ceiling.
Rachal Bradley is an artist and writer based in London. In her work, Bradley aims to understand the formative and formal relationships between the body and systemic structures within society.
Carlo Hornilla is a Bristol-based freelance artist, illustrator, storyteller, and poet; who uses “play”, “fun” and regular introspection as a platform to explore feelings, connections and communication.
Tommy Howlett is a 2D animation filmmaker interested in story-telling, blending means of the expressive and conventional, and bringing adult audiences closer to animation.
Lauren Jeffery is a portraitist and poet who approaches her practices as a vehicle to expand her perspective.
Calum McCutcheon's practice is a tool for introspection, using process as a means of understanding his own logic and subjectivity.
