Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons)

Open 4-9 June 2011

From 4 to 9 June 2011, exhibits from
more than 500 students will transform
the Faculty of Arts' Grand Parade campus into the biggest gallery in the south-
east of the UK.

With two buildings and three-floors of gallery space to explore, over 15,000 visitors will discover the work of the class of 2011: perhaps taking the opportunity to commission work or compile a collection before students emerge as leading lights in their chosen discipline.

Artist Statement

My work combines the repetition and consistent format of the UK shipping forecast with the ephemeral and transient nature of clouds, giving me a direct scientific anchor in which to then explore and interpret the sky and weather as abstractly or realistically as I see fit.

Within my practice I aim to capture a moment in time, conveying the feelings of the whole environment and my own reaction to the atmosphere, rather than simply transcribing the visual qualities of a landscape. I work outside in the environment I wish to capture, using spit bite on zinc with various resists; with the coastal and shipping forecast as my companion.
