Maddie Smith - Bunting

Here are some samples of stitch that became bunting. I stitched the poem onto paper and then soaked in the bath so it crinkled. I wanted it to look worn, like something dragged in by sea.

Thaleia Kavvada - 2nd Installation

the olive grove, behind the sea, and even

the sun, death within the deaths

2,500 stamps, on 2,500 pictures of sea, in 2,500 envelopes, for 2,500 drowned Syrian refugees during last year - the number is based on UNHCR stats.

The phrases I’ve used describe various kinds of relationships.

Poster and Invites!

Here's the design for posters and invites!

Julie James-Turner

black on black

Ive been experimenting with different shades of black thread on black taffeta, to create digitally embroidered feathers but there is black and then there is black! Threads look very different tones of black in different lighting. So after contacting Maddie Ive decided to go for a set of three tones of black for the embroidery. 

Ive also made a prototype for the glove.

 My idea has evolved from the poem and been inspired by black crows messengers of the afterlife. There is so much symbolism attached to crows they are fascinating creatures.

Laura Wake - Final 6

Here are the final six images to be exhibited  alongside my sound piece! They will be labeled in roman numerals from I-VI. The order of which will be decided when I hang them. The sound piece will also have 6 second gaps to tie in with the theme of "Six" ( 6 sides of a dice/chance etc) The sound will be played on a tape player through a usb which contains the clipped/cut and mixed sound taken from the original tape.

Maddie Smith- Decisions around the beachut

I am struggling with the beach hut. I am working into it bit by bit in short bursts that last less then an hour. I am struggling with the positioning of it and have played around with this. I feel it might need to be taller. I am seeking outside advice.

I have thought about laying it down and resting it the box. This suggests a brokenness. I'm not sure if this is what I am going for, although it does create a certain tension.

I have to think. Do I want create a more peaceful sculpture? The box of painful memories sitting by the sea, resting. Or do I want to think about this tension created by a more dismantled beach hut, that almost suggests a threat?
