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
Using architecture and the grid as a point of departure, I generate prints which describe impossible places. Paradoxical structures, distorted perspective and references to architectural plans and models create panoramas of virtual space. The nature of the grid, and its capacity to provide a relentlessly structured starting point, allows me to explore issues of light, weight, and place in an endlessly speculative manner.
Using a combination of traditional and contemporary print processes, I create tension between each printed surface and the space they occupy. Hand drawn lines sit on top of CAD renderings, whilst scanned papers interact with silkscreen glazes.
