Four Square Films
Four Square Fine Arts began working with Last Bus in 2008 to create a series of short interview based artist profiles. Four Square Films focus on artists in their own words and from the second film are supported by insightful footage of studio processes.
The aim of these films is to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary art practice, whilst stimulating questions about the creative process, nurturing new dialogues between artists, students and art lovers.
We also look forward to including them as a valuable resource within our unfolding educational program. To find out more about this program click here.

Paul Thomas
Paul Thomas won a first class honours degree in Editorial Photography at the University of Brighton in 2002 and won the Burt, Brill and Carden Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award in the same year. Since then he has undertaken a number of projects focusing on architectural interiors, landscapes and portraiture.
His most recent body of work entitled Ruin – The Shoreham Project is a series of photographs taken over a nine-month period exploring the interior of the abandoned site at the old Shoreham Cement Works in Sussex.
"An unnerving sense of insecurity hung in the air of the great cathedral-like main chambers. Shards of metal intermittently fell from up high, making each step more uncertain than the last. Dull, heavy groans and creaks were the sounds of a forgotten building slowly being reclaimed by the nature that surrounds it. But in the darkness I found light. Amongst the greyest blanket of cement, that seemed to obstinately cover everything in sight, I found colour. Long exposures illuminated scenes that, like secrets, were hidden from my glances into the pitch black. I learnt to work with the buildings. I began to understand their nuances and quickly my fear of the dark subsided. As I went forward Shoreham seemed to expose its history to me bit by bit. In the old offices testament to an industrial episode gone by lay in the handwritten documents spread across the floors. Clothing and photographs, old diaries and schedules hiding in cupboards unopened for an eternity were all artefacts in this temporary museum."
