    The artists

    Emma Carter

    Phil Dixon

    Christine Sweetman

    Whilst leading a new movement in art through installation, performance and sculptural based work, their aim is to push their boundaries as artists and explore new themes.  They use the term 'Aesthetic Conceptualists' to describe their ethos and practice.  This refers to their focus on producing work based strongly on a theme or idea whilst still aiming to show an aesthetic form.

    With a focus on exploring emotions, relationships with self, others and our environment, the 'Inside Out' group invite the audience to engage in the work and to question their personal responses to the pieces.  Having worked as professional artists for the past two decades the 'Inside Out' team are keen to help propel and emerging creative boom in the Southwest and then to advertise this cultural climate on a wider stage.

    Tom Badley, a third year student at Dartington College of Arts, will also be documenting the progress of the Aesthetic Conceptualists and his research will result in his own exhibition that will run alongside the main exhibits at Torre Abbey.
