MA Design and Applied Arts
In my project “Lost Forest” being sustainable is an important factor, allowing me to extend the love I have for the environment into the materials I use. My choice of sustainable fabrics consists of natural fabrics including cotton and linen, additionally eco-friendly recycled material. “Lost Forest” is inspired by deforestation in the rainforest. Undertaking research focusing on deforestation encouraged me to support the wellbeing of the planet, furthermore, to produce a project celebrating the beauty of the untouched rainforest. Throughout my work I convey the significance of being sustainable and saving the trees due to the rainforests being the lungs of the planet.
Using a breadth of hand printing techniques and primary observational drawing, my work is digitalized to make repeat patterns for interiors. My investigation of printmaking has excelled in the print room while screen printing and experimenting with layers of colour. In my prints, nature manifests itself as abstract, delicate and vibrant though my use of line drawing and a soft toned palette.
Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for my prints. My interest in the protection of the planet is at the heart of my artistic approach, utilising deforestation as a focal point during my research. As part of my work, I have taken trips to various woodland areas, National Trust sites and botanical gardens for my primary resources. In the journey to finding myself as an artist, and being an advocate for the environment, I found myself being able to express my apprehensions for the wellbeing of the planet through design.

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.
