The group (Geral­dine Downey, Andrew Eccle­stone, Stel­la Ram­age, Paul Hol­ley and Jor­dyn O’Ke­effe) gave them­selves the wide brief for the exhi­bi­tion of cre­at­ing images inspired by the word ‘enig­ma’. The brief exhi­bi­tion cat­a­logue explains that they were “Aim­ing to make space for a slow­er, deep­er vision amongst the tor­rent of visu­al infor­ma­tion that swamps us every­day. We want­ed to pro­duce images which asked more ques­tions than they answered, to arouse a flick­er of intrigue, a shiv­er of unease, or cre­ate a pause for thought.”
