Harrison's practice spans a broad range of eclectic media utilising
the sculptural form and architectural space with light, illusion and
lens based projections. The work is often site-specific .Her work
seeks to define and articulate ideas about space, mapping traces of
human activity and presence; visual narratives inherent in the work,
explore disparate sites as the home, the city, the countryside, The
questions raised and explored through installation concern contemporary
issues that are particularly relevant to the urban environment. The
tentative relationship that individuals have with their surroundings,
the everyday repetitious, mundane habitual activities that are our
makeup, colour and form our perceptions.

Lou Smith works
in the fine art disciplines of painting and photography. Her paintings
evoke the spiritual realisation of colour through the intensity
of rich layers of paint, staining the canvas again and again.
As a photographer Lou Smith works in collaboration with her partner
of over 36 years, Ron Smith. The smithnsmith partnership explores
ways of seeing through the dynamics of stills and movies.
