For decades Patricia Ramaer’s main medium has been photography. Her work has won her three awards (Black & White Magazine 2015, 2016). These fine art glass-plate portraits allow chance to play and imperfections to seep into the images. Currently an MFA Art & Humanities student at DJCAD, she is rematerialising her art. Stimulated by artist Joseph Beuys, philosopher Roland Barthes and quantum physics, her works are a tribute to the realms of the unseen, memory and time/space/matter. Breaking free from the inherent limitations of photography, Patricia ‘burns’ instead of ‘prints’, and uses wax rather than paper. In essence she creates through the process of destruction. Her image 27 August 1892, 2016, carbon deposit (and burnt paper residue) on beeswax, appears on both the website and in issue one.

Catherine Willett is a Brooklyn based artist, working primarily with ink on paper. From Buffalo, NY, she received her BFA from the University at Buffalo in 2011 with a minor in Art History, and also studied at the Scuola Lorenzo de’Medici in Florence, Italy, in 2009. Catherine explores the nuances of natural forms through her drawings. Repetitive line work is a meditative act for her, and she finds creative release through the investigation of intricate patterns, mineral formations, and flora and fauna, combined with personal reflection and thought sequences. Bits of the past come together to shape a lingering web of the human, animal, dreamlike, and real. Each piece is metaphorical, and is given life through the realization of natural elements paired with memories. These studies form a makeshift perception of nature, place, and the self. Her illustration work has been recognized by The Wall Street Journal, Buffalo Magazine, The Interior Project and Paste Magazine. Willett’s image While You Were Asleep appears on the website and Smoke Signals appears in issue one.

Siobhan Morison is from Scotland but has travelled extensively in Europe and further afield. After a varied career she returned to Dundee attending Duncan of Jordanstone for her BA (Hons) Fine Art, staying on to study MFA Art & Humanities.
Morison’s main medium is stone although drawing also plays an integral part of her art practice. Space, form and movement are very important in her work. The act of making 3D sculpture is not just seeing, it involves space and the body. Morison’s organic looking pieces have a sense that they have been caught at the point just before moving. The image entitled Untitled 4, 2015, pen, appears in the first issue of the Scores.
