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.
I use my surroundings, everyday journeys and discoveries as inspiration for my work.
Over the last two years I have been studying the Beachlands estate through documentary photography, this enabled me to capture the estates atmosphere and colours.
I have now manipulated the images into polyester plates and combined them with woodcuts, this then creates an almost dream like state to the images, and creates a subtle optical illusion of the ‘Pre-fabricated’ homes, by capturing the colour and abandonment of the estate. Living in a prefabricated home can make some things almost seem like they are not real, and dream like, prefabricated from your own thoughts.
