My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I want use leaves as the element, time as the theme to express that we should cherish the present.
"One leaf falls, knowing that autumn has arrived." This is the cycle of nature, where it comes from, and where it goes. The leaves change from green to yellow, and in the same way, the hair colour of humans fade:" the old man goes white, the autumn leaves are yellow." For nature, changes in time are slower than people. If a person is like a leaf that grows and withers with the changes of the seasons, then the landscape remains the same.

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.
