IRIS Collective comprises six lens-based artists who graduated from the University of Brighton MA (Photography) in 2022. The collective’s members are Syl Ojalla, Elizabeth Doak, Torz Dallison, Lorraine Edridge, Andy Lloyd and Bill Brooks.

IRIS was selected as one of eight photography collectives for this year's Collectives Hub exhibition at Phoenix Art Space, each presenting a different approach to image-making and to this year’s festival theme “Common Ground”

The collectives showing alongside IRIS are -

* Brighton Queer Photographers Collective
* Emic Collective
* Flowers of Lilith
* HOLD
* London Alternative Photography Collective
* MAP6
* Rethinking Eastern Europe

Tableau presents six photographs from the collective’s individual practices as five works orbiting around a sixth central image. The playful juxtaposition of these images invites the viewer to query the relationships between seemingly unrelated elements or parts through a language of tension, interpretation and contradiction.
