Escapism... The need or want to escape one world into another.
Through the years people have tried to escape their everyday life in many different ways, I want to show a part of that through this project, the side of a person that is only seen at certain times of a year, at a convention for example, this project is a way to show inner expression and the characteristics of a person that may not be apparent to everyone around them.
This is a mixed media project, using photography as the main element and extending the veil of life through experimentation with alternative media applied on top of the image. This mixed media approach will convey the fantasy world the figure seeks to escape into or how they feel alienated from it, unable to cross into a different reality.

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.
