Exhibition 

A selection of work produced by a selection of third year MA Multi-Disciplinary Print and MA Design students  

Thursday 28th January 2016

 

I was inspired by Nick Greenglass - MA Multidisciplinary Print - digital prints for 'The Digital Hand Project' where he combined the traditional print process with the computer generated - using silkscreen and photographic digitally manipulated imagery. 

"The Digital Hand Project explores the relationship between the hand of the artist and computer technology, as well as the more personal relationship between human and machine. It is as much about experimenting between digital and non-digital technique as it is about questioning the effects of electronic culture on identity."

Annie Lywood - MA Design - showed work which was extremely innovative and unusual. She specialises in e-textiles with specific areas of interest:  

•  textile interfaces - surfaces that recognise touch gestures, enabling controls to be embedded in    clothing

•  designing technology to be more sensitive to human needs
•  exploring the making processes of e-textiles.Despina's silkscreen images - looking at abstracted textures on a variety of surfaces -  appeared to be an almost visceral response to work printed onto eclectic facets and planes. The degraded surfaces and aged patina's enhanced the textural theme.
Mood electronics for a digital age.


Despina - MA Multidisciplinary Print - Her abstracted textural silkscreen images appeared to be an almost visceral response to the theme of degradation and surface decay; with eclectic facets, planes and patina's evoking this in her printwork.
