Guy Brook
Guy Brook continued to pursue his interests in North American culture by looking at the journey taken by outsiders, in this case Mexicans, to gain access to their own 'American Dream'. As part of this he extended his use of screenprinting to combine both relief printmaking and drawing. The prints concertina into a booklet that is then packaged by a simple band.
Alessandra Chambers
Alessandra looked at the way the objects we surround ourselves with can communicate something about ourselves. Here she combines the cuddly toys of childhood with her later interest in Hip-Hop music. Placing the images on T-shirts is a perfect way to brand ourselves.
Anthony White
Anthony's project focussed on creating a memory of six children who lived and died in an Edwardian boarding school. He wanted their presence to linger within everyday life hence his applying their portraits to dinner plates. Anthony felt that the work 'represents a major stepping stone' in his development as an illustrator.
Ella Charter
Ella project entitled 'Walking on my Dreams' whereby she made five pairs of paper shoes each evoking a place she would like to visit during her life. She battled with the construction of the shoes, exploring a range of possible solutions before settling on this sturdy outcome.
Matt Coltman
Mathew Coltman aimed to convey the speed, noise and excitement experienced by the formula one racing driver through the conduit of the steering wheel. The image was created through the layering of acetate and was back lit.
Pippa Hunt
Pippa collected quotes from people who are suffering from mental health difficulties. Often these thoughts are kept discreet but here she has placed them center stage. Her use of embroidery almost makes the words look decorative and light hearted so the words themselves come as something of a shock.
Vicky Roberts
Vicky's focus was the production of a guidebook of creatures from a fantasy island called 'Mythica'. She mimicked a copy of the Observer Book of Animals creating her own Latin terms and faked information about habitat and behavior.
Sarah Malleady
Sarah's developed a series of detailed and decorative animals sometimes camouflaged through her choice of colour or through the use of obsessive detail. She then applied her designs to a range of products whether, as here, T-shirts, or bags, screenprints or fabric.
Grace Leaney
Grace developed an app which could be used by visitors to Scotney Castle. The aim was to to develop more contemporary imagery which still maintains something of a nod to the past.
Becky Draper
Becky observed the process of change that a butterfly passes through from a chrysalis to flight. She recorded the observations and questions a child makes in response to this magical process. All of this was brought together in a final mixed media collage.
Poppy Foyle
Poppy collaborated with a group of primary school children to create an activity book. She incorporated the childrens' drawings with her own creating an unusual mix of styles and approaches.
Ami Freed
Continuing her interest in playing with perspective and space Amy created a map of her key places of importance whether her school, home or college and wove these together with a map of Florida, a place she regularly visits. The result is a dreamlike unfolding of space which takes the viewer on their own journey of Amy's past and present.
Heather Macarthy
Heather created a series of handbound books all with her own tales inspired by objects from her childhood.
Carl Potter
Carl created a homage to the ever changing image of David Hockney, enlarging his drawings to life size and then setting them mingling with us in our space.
Josh Ross
Josh created a series of playful interventions in and around Hastings. Nothing was photoshopped! Even the super size letters spelling Hastings were taken early in the morning to the top of West Hill and then photograhed from the harbour arm.As part of his project Josh created a website where he showed the work and recorded comments from passers by.
