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 practice focuses on people in our ever-evolving cities, particularly concentrating on the rapid urban transformation and the emotional impact of such developments on city dwellers.
Cities are enticing places teeming with contrasting built forms and flowing with pragmatic human activity. They offer an abundance of experiences and sensations, which are constantly in flux and shifting.
It is this flux that I am interested in. This is represented in the works through a cascading wave of abstracted shapes and lights, in a torrent of moments and a flood of sensory stimuli. Throughout my artistic practice consideration is given to the way different cities operate and how the city dweller interacts with their environment. The work uses such viewpoints that the viewer is compelled to stand back and encounter the modern city in its speed and its immensity.
