Hayley Bassett
MA Design and Applied Arts
As an artist, I am exploring the current issues of climate change and health awareness. My textile art showcases a wonderful world full of growth throughout the seasons against a dying decaying earth being destroyed by the actions of humans. My aim is to educate the public. It’s important for us all to do our part, for changing our carbon footprint to protect the planet and to also protect our own health - especially now with the Covid-19 pandemic happening around the world.
Using mixed media methods such as punch needling and alcohol inks I am trying to visualise the imbalance between the beauty of nature and destruction that we are causing. By healing the planet we will also be healing ourselves, human health and the health of the planet are intertwined: clean air, natural environmental forces, and global warming are all small pieces of a greater puzzle.

Wolverhampton School of Art Graduate Showcase 2021
We are delighted to announce our end of year graduate showcase highlighting the work of our final year students in Art, Design and Screen based subjects.
Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
