Researchers
Blast Radius is a collaborative artist duo of SE Barnet and Jane Watt, both Senior Lecturers in Fine Art at University of Suffolk, UK. Working across media including drawing, painting, installation, audio, photography, film, and performance, our work is site-responsive, creating new ways to engage with and perceive landscapes.
SE Barnet
In her practice SE Barnet often employs anecdote and language towards a consideration of personal histories sited within larger political discourses. She engages with relationships encircling place and identity, working across multiple media including; drawing, moving image/performance and installation - all towards creating intimate visual essays on everyday pursuits. Having personally migrated from one continent to another, her interests have continually been rooted in place. From physical site to social context, how we experience the world emerges from our position in a location, a ‘landscape’ in all its myriad meanings.

She has over 30 years’ experience making work that is site-responsive, seeking to prompt new interactions with, and perceptions of, rural and urban spaces. Her work is increasingly rooted within landscape: being in it, observing it, recording it, making in it and of it.
