With my art I would like to attract people's attention to the issue of air pollution.
My interest in air pollution came from looking at the beauty of the sky, and observing how this beauty can be damaged through chemical trails, factory and car emissions. Through their inhalation we are breathing in chemical air that can cause respiratory problems and other ailments.
Looking at the tufted/steel sculpture and large rug, viewers are invited to consider both the impact of air pollution on our environment, and possible solutions.
Within 'Steel Sky: Post Pandemic' collection, the 5X7ft rug is designed by combining elements of air, steel and biodegradable polylactic acid chemical formulas together, depicting positive solutions through eco friendly materials. It is a call to each one of us to prevent air pollution through our consumer choices.

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.
