Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons)
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.
The aim of my work is to create a vision of an idealized home environment, complete with perfect relationships, families and possesions. Using collaged ephemera and printed materials to draw from different eras creates a fuller vision of idealism, and I am using this medium to create postcard sized environments – rooms and landscapes that act as ‘sets’ in which the ‘characters’ exist.
The repetition of these postcards and the use of repeated imagery in different combinations is a demonstration of the act of ‘searching’ for the ideal and shows the futility and impossibility of this task.
