You are invited to the preview of Newcastle University’s MFA Summer Exhibition 2015.
The exhibition is the interim show for the 1st year MFAs and the culminating show for the 2nd year MFAs. The MFA Summer Exhibition presents a wide range of media, exemplifying the diversity within the practice of fine art.
Included are works by 1st years, Mirela Bistran, Helen Shaddock, Yein Son and Liying Zhao.
2nd years: Alex Charrington, Sarah Dunn, Paul Martin Hughes, Soonwon Hwang, Ute Kirkwood, Nigel Morgan and Sofija R. L. Sutton.
The MFA at Newcastle University is a two-year studio-based programme in Fine Art that promotes critically engaged artistic practice. The programme is designed to advocate interdisciplinary experimentation that deepens independent practice-led research. The exhibition showcases the talents of the postgraduate students at Newcastle University.
Statement
I am an artist making work that incorporates installation, video, sound, sculpture, performance, & writing to explore the human condition. I investigate ways to immerse the audience in multi-layered psychological & physical situations.
I trained at Leeds College of Art & Design (Foundation), Glasgow School of Art (BA (Hons) Fine Art: Sculpture & Environmental Art) and Newcastle University (Masters of Fine Art).
My lived experience of eating distress & obsessive compulsive disorder informs the work I create & the way I work. Some of the consequences of living with these conditions are that rigour, routine & attention to detail are fundamental to my way of life, all of which are integral to my creative practice; using the constraints of systems, I allow chance & playful elements to create unexpected results.
My work is regularly exhibited in solo & group exhibitions across the UK, USA, Canada & South Korea & is contained in various public collections. I have a number of public artworks, been commissioned to produce site-specific work & have taken part in national & international residencies, consistently since 2005.
