Collision Drive 3Kez Hughes, Hiroe Komai , Stephania Leigh, Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Laurence Noga, Steven Rendall, Benet Spencer, Bronte Mae Webster, with text by Jack Willet.

Collision Drive 3 addresses the relationship between painting, collage and life through presenting artworks that collide imagistic obsessions with material tendencies. Copying, hybridity, research and faults in translation are evident, prioritising the processes involved and how painting has strangely thrived despite the shifting grounds of the 21st Century.
