GONE are the days when artists restricted themselves to paintbrush or a hammer and chisel.
Winchester School of Arts’ graduate show will feature a wide array of work which explores the modern world and depicts it as you’ve never seen it before.
Lauren Goldie has created a glowing ring of wax and metal fragments.
The piece, Overlap, alters dramatically depending on the light projected through it. Lauren filmed the creation of the work and this footage is projected onto the sculpture creating a series of unique images on the wax.
Lauren, 21, from Cambridgeshire, says her everchanging work was inspired by a trip to Sri Lanka where she spoke with people about their experiences of the Tsunami.
“Their ideas of death vary from Western culture because they see it as a celebration of one form shifting into another,” she explained.
Amy Wilson, from South Kilburn, has been filming the inside of animal toys with the aid of microscopic cameras to create a video – entitled Viscera.
Amy said: “I was interested in the way these objects represent something that’s alive and how it relates to how people often personify their toys.
Hannah Owens looks at the female form from the view of a cloth cutter making dress patterns.
Instead of fabric, her patterns are cut out of zinc metal plates “leaving the viewer to contemplate the relationship between the printed garment and shape”.
