Welcome Leeds College of Art is proud to be one of the few remaining independent specialist art and design institutions in the UK. The College and its students have a culture of engaging with ‘live’ external events promoting a professional and outward looking ethos. The BA (Hons) Fine Art programme recognises that the students should be prepared intellectually, practically and professionally. This year’s graduate exhibition celebrates the conflation of these qualities. Students on the programme explore drawing, painting, sculpture, lens-based media, installation, performance, sound, web based, social and public art through a series of critically positioned modules. They also actively engage with exhibiting and public facing practices as key knowledge instruments in the Fine Art discipline. This publication, ‘Departures’, draws together the profiles of our individual students as one form of celebration of their time at the College. The final exhibition in Leeds celebrates the achievement of the students’ degree. Their work will then tour to London to be seen as a part of ‘Free Range’, the annual art show at Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, to celebrate the first year of their professional careers. I applaud the achievement of this year’s graduating students and warmly invite you to explore their work in both exhibitions. Sheila Gaffney Head of Fine Art

This years Fine Art exhibition records the personal accomplishments of our students. Departures is an exhibition that celebrates the journey as much as the destination. In just three years of undergraduate study, our students have risen to the challenge of producing art in a ‘post-everything’ world. Equipped with exquisite making skills and material knowledge our graduates have confronted the complex problem of producing work that ‘says who they are’. The learning environment at Leeds College of Art is characterized by the diverse approaches to representation, narrative and materiality that we find in the works shown. The Fine Art course continues to support students to be the best kind of artists that they can potentially be, with no house style the course continues to nurture personal voices. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with this years final year students, leading them to this point of departure has been wonderful. The level of initiative and commitment required to sustain this kind of endeavour is quite extraordinary. This particular cohort can be very proud of themselves, we are. Well done.

MIA ALLONBY
As a transgender woman still experiencing negative social conflict, my artwork presents my own trials, realisations and curative personal steps. Because of this, my practice is subjective and forms within the fleeting intervals of my time. Pull towards matters concerning the public, social ‘norms’ and standardised ideas of ‘beauty’ stem directly from my experiences living true.

YVONNE BAINES
Inspired by the word panoply, meaning a great collection and armour for spiritual warfare, this practice uses a childlike appropriation of domestic household objects to create a narrative of warfare. Changing the objects by projecting onto them new functions without actually changing the objects form. Encouraging the audience to interpret the sculptures from their own associations and experiences, transforming the piece depending on who is looking at it. There is a playful absurdity to it, subverting the everyday objects to form surreal encounters.

BETH BALDWIN
My practice aims to explore the concept of drawing in space investigating how a line can be drawn by exercising motion and process with the material. . A number of factors define the basis of my creative making; line, form, materiality, space and colour are crucial elements within my practice.

LYDIA BLAKELEY
Rendered in the hyper-reality of advertising both old and new, in half-memories from years ago, and promises of a future that never came, my practice presents a familiar world. Signs, intuitively collated without date, form spaces of living nostalgia, simultaneously neither here nor there, both present and distant.

JAMES BLAMIRES
I practice sculpture; making things out of lots of different materials. I also take pictures of things and use photography for inspiration to make 3D work but also incorporating my old photos for inspiration to create new work. The work I make is mainly based on experience & I’m currently looking at a particular time between 99-02. This is when I was coming-of- age, studying, working, beginning to discover and escape the real world; to a new place I discovered called Speed Queen, an alternative environment to mine. The work I’m producing is an intention to remember and immortalize these times.

MOLLY BROCKLEHURST
My practice emerges from the fascination of the found photograph. I paint from old photographs that I find in flea markets and antique shops around England. The photographs are ambiguous and act as a starting point, allowing me a way in to somebody’s life. Being distorted by my own interpretation, the paintings contain elements of fiction whilst at the same time depict a lost moment, once recorded by the click of the camera. They blur the boundary between reality and fiction. mollybrocklehurst@icloud.com

SAMUEL BURKE
My practice is based on re appropriating the techniques and compositional values of western portraiture and history painting in order to create a dialogue surrounding current socioeconomic issues. This has taken the form of the ‘Questionalbles’ series in which some of the worlds most wealthy and private individuals are presented together in a public format.

SOPHIE CLARKE
I am interested in how the traditional stereotypes of embroidery and craft are used within the sphere of contemporary art. By using a combination of photography, cross stitch and other textile elements, I aim to create a harmony between contemporary and traditional, between textile and photography, and between memory and the present.

ADAM COLLIER
My practice glorifies the unexpected. As a practitioner, either through painted works or appropriated sculpture, I am intrinsically compelled to extend static states of being beyond their perceived realms. I am interested in fragmenting the expected experience of viewers by mimicking what we view as ‘the everyday’ , in new and unexpected ways. adamcollierart@gmail.com

SAMMY COOK
I retain a firm belief that music has a place within fine art practices. Since having my first piano lesson I discovered the strange phenomenon of synaesthesia. Middle C became an orange tone and the rest of the notes followed suit. I began seeing the canvas as a blank score.

PAIGE COTTAM
My practice employs a range of mixed media techniques including oil painting, photography, monoprinting and collage that all lend themselves equally to the overall outcome of my work. My current work explores the liminal space between abstraction and realism, using architectural references and bright colour relationships to construct perceptually ambiguous spatial compositions. paigecottam@gmail.com

EMMA DARNELL
The paintings I make are a visible embodiment of my emotional state. Each colour is a different sensation that I have felt, and the compositions I have created express how my feelings react and mix together. Each piece tells a different story; from either being wound up and tight with tension or flowing free and overbearing. My work follows a uniform as I use harsh lines and block colours to exercise control, both formally and subjectively. However sometimes that control slips or breaks which is why in places my colour compositions take over.

CHARLES EDEN
My practice is towards the concern of how we interpret and make sense of our given environments. This interest finds itself pushed through an ‘observational’ approach in painting. By dealing with the elements involved in ones sense it often suggests the imagery. I ask, through aesthetic consideration, what it is that informs actions and whether we should be attentive toward it. charles.eden@hotmail.com

KATHERINE FELL
This practice deals with the use of repetition, structure and systematic behaviour found in every day life. Through the visual use of repetition in an arranged manor, the artist will use materials to replicate the unrecognised repetitive behaviour through the past and present.

TYLER GORDON
An Illustrator using comics as a medium to express her art. Tyler is inspired by popular culture; particularly science fiction and fantasy, she depicts a new world from her visual reflections on reality. Intrigued by traditional and historical architecture, she finds that that imagination mixed with reality is quite fantastical.

LANA GRABINSKIS
My work depicts women; mentally, spiritually and physically with a fascination for the past bringing forth experiences, events and objects into a positive, and enlightened future. I am able to explore the subtle use of symbolism in order to illustrate sexuality, and freedom, bound by a single garment; the corset.

With my work I hope to show how memory changes and fades over time. My work shows how we will all eventually forget the bigger picture and that will leave the smaller details left as a sort of skeleton of what it used to be.

My practice is a personal reflection and memories and dreams that I use to develop a landscape around or in nighttime; the main element of my paintings is the way that I portray light in the paintings, usually as little dotted specks on the horizon or domestic lights coming from the home.
CHARLOTTE HARVEY
My practice revolves around adopting blind contour methods and using continuous line to create two and three dimensional drawings. I depict people and the everyday through the use of repetition. I’m interested in how drawings can exist in space and how arrangement can be vital to the way a piece is perceived. charlotte.uk@btinternet.com

TESSA HAWKES
In my practice I use fun and play as a way in which to make object based installations. The installations are ephemeral, making for changeable situations which are influenced by the space the work will exist in. Each installation develops its own narrative through the performance of making.

ELLE HEELEY
My artistic practice emerges from an investigation into the role of line within drawing and a fascination with the structure and concept of the grid. Initially my practice began as a response to observing the systematic formal structure of the grid compared to the informal use of line seen within drawings. My work consists of creating linear and geometric compositions that challenge and explore the use of line. Recently I have created a drawing series consisting of drawing patterns that have been created from an A3 cut out grid stencil, altering the drawing pattern each time to create a different composition.

Holdsworth’s practice is concerned with how beauty can be perceived in imperfections that are presented to us throughout life and the cyclical processes of time that everything is fundamentally bound to. Wabi-sabi and Minimalism are key theoretical constructs that underpin his work, which is situated within the broad notions of ‘drawing’.

AISHA HOUT
My work is based on Archetypes from historical mythical characters, particularly looking at the female Goddess characters from various different cultures and religions. I use henna to draw certain elements or traits from that character, making the representation visually unknown because we don’t really know what is in our collective unconsciousness we can only assume, personalities and traits from our ancestors that have been passed on through many generations which are deep within us. The drawings for my recent project is manifesting the characteristics of a character visually that have somehow seeped into our consciousness from our collective unconsciousness to make us or characters in a myth react in a certain way when in a situation.

GEORGINA HOWARD - BAKER
Georgina’s practice is concerned with the expansion of the notion of drawing. She uses mixed media in an attempt to bring drawing off the page, breaking down media boundaries. Georgina is interested in the viewer’s relationship with their architectural surroundings, and creates site-specific installed drawings, primarily using reflected laser modules. georgiehowardbaker@gmail.com

CHARLES HUBBARD
I am a remodeller of things. That is what drives my artistic practice. I take one thing, deconstruct it and remodel it into something else within an artistic context. Objects that are in a timeless and valueless limbo are reborn through an artistic intervention into sculptural paintings, which become permanent, living, social things.

JAIRAJ LALL
My practice is based around engaging the audience and their perceptions of shape, space, form and colour. I often create sculptures that play around with these concepts, experimenting with geometric shapes and also bold and vibrant colours. The main materials I use within my practice are: wood, metal, plastics and also plaster/ceramics but can vary depending on the subject of a particular project. My current work focuses on the combination of sculpture and fashion design to create series of ‘wearable sculptures’ using a variety of different materials.

MAX LENNON
In manifestation of the aesthetic link between life and art, the artist utilises found objects and industrial materials to create a typology of content. Co-opting these materials into performing as part of an assemblage, the work alludes to human consumption and creation in its presentation of process.

TERRY LISTER
My sculpture is made in wood, found objects, metal, stone and plaster usually on wire armatures, to be later cast in bronze. The process of carving is to me a meditative experience and my work is an attempt to convey the intangible sense of being a kind of other worldliness.

The Exotic is a subject which has long interested me. For my practice, I utilize ceramic sculptures; they are symbolic representations of the unique biodiversity of new environments.

BRANDON - LEE MANSUETO
My work makes a poignant statement about my council estate upbringing, expressed through many familiar mediums and aesthetic elements to compose a statement that brings both comforting and socially aware connotations. Unconventional painting materials are used to question the place of working class culture within a fine art context.

CHLOE MARTIN
My practice focuses mainly on portraiture. As my time in the studio has progress throughout my degree, my intentions for my paintings have changed. I used to be concerned with Realism but as I have progresses my work has been highly influenced by expressionism and surrealism. A portrait is a highly charged and psychological piece of art that is very unique. Alongside portraiture and attempting to capture the moment and essence of a person, I also draw and paint my surroundings. This part of my work is somewhat autobiographical and is inspired by familiar places and objects in my life. chloebmartin@hotmail.co.uk

KHADIJA MAYAT
A true reflection of the artist’s upbringing, with no exaggerated perception of the exotic but an appreciation of her diverse cultural background; British, Indian, South African and Middle Eastern. Through the beauty of her cultures and the vibrant use of colour; the work is a collection of her family portraits and images of her cultures in order to make her “own statement of what it is to be”. (Mayat, 2015).

OLIVIA MCMULLEN
Concerned with my own mortality and fear of dying; the notion of my own impermanence has been central to my artistic practice for some time. Latex, which has flesh-like qualities can be wrinkled, can sag and age just like the human body, these aspects can be exacerbated by introducing certain environmental factors such as light; light degrades latex. Latex is made of long chain polymers, that separate with the penetration of light, it is this idea that my work is now centred - an abstract representation of the degradation of latex at a microscopic level.

TIFFANY MITCHELL
The thinking surrounding my practice explores how the aesthetics of beauty plays a fundamental role in how we view art. I am interested in painting, printing and photography, which led me into creating mixed media pieces. In recent years I have worked in an abstract style using vibrant colours and a range of materials. I am primarily interested in paint, as it’s a substance I have always enjoyed working with. In my recent works I usually combine paint with other materials. Materials transform the nature and beauty in my work and enhance aspects that I want to show via the use of glitter, sequins, glass, paper, and paint which I think convey and enhance beauty.

SEANA NICHOLSON
Multi-media, installation based art practitioner, currently creating work that focuses on past experiences and how our perception of these may change over time. Seana’s work is concerned with the idea of immersion and what it means to be fully immersed within something both physically and mentally. This concept is played with by combining several sensory triggers for a viewer to perceive, and although much of her work may be informed by her own personal experiences, she aims to create an atmosphere in which a viewer can feel nostalgic within.

LAUREN OGDEN
My practice explores the idea of regular journeys, and their mundane, repetitive nature, through the use of traditional, feminine crafts such as crochet and knit. I use processes of casting to remove the tactility of these domestic craft objects. My process is monotonous so I think of the wool as taking little journeys of its own, ultimately creating something greater than each repeated act.

The focus of my work centres around the implications of developing spatial and architectural boundaries. Extending to the state of physical and digital territories in flux. I aim to explore the changing relationship between human beings and the built spaces they inhabit and interact with on a daily basis. Using light in conjunction with sculptural forms I attempt to highlight the theatricality of the ubiquitous structures that surround us.
ELLA PATTINSON
My work is based on the explorations of human and social struggles and taboos. I aim to make the viewer question their thoughts, beliefs and experiences, and hopefully in some way be able to relate to what they are seeing. To do this I work in a mixture of different mediums and materials. ellapattinson1@hotmail.co.uk

MIKE PITTMAN
Pittman’s work considers the connotations of figurative gestures through the context of mythological allegories. Creating juxtaposing roles and elements within the works allows for a wider scope of interpretation when viewing the image, often considering the aspects of dualism within the self as a conflict between the masculine and feminine.

CHLOE RICE - GREER
My work is a representation of unhindered free play, with a hint of the effects of growing up. I practice sculptural bricolage, a construction made of whatever materials are at hand; works are created from a variety of available things. I deconstruct and reinvent the idea of craft by arranging objects handmade and found into new conceptually layered pieces. The evocative object is the object that is evoking or tending to evoke an especially emotional response. My work has reflected discipline and desire, design and play, history and exchange, mourning and memory and transition and passage.

My practice delves into the metaphysical and unconscious. I attempt to understand the fundamental nature of what is by looking at the nature of life, who we are and how we find ourselves here. I have aimed to project the ambiguous by capturing the unknown in spectral moments in time. Because I believe any understanding found through art is one arrived at by connecting with one’s unconscious and something hidden. Beyond the image, beyond the camera and beyond our own eyes.
ELEANOR ROBSON
My artwork explores the concept of Future Ruin through a Marxist methodology using sculptural creation and destruction. The use of books in my work investigates the ideas of the destruction of knowledge and culture and the use of propaganda in places of socio-political unrest.

HUGO SAMENGO - TURNER
My practice demonstrates the simplification of architectural forms. I predominantly look at the process and from my simplified drawings I systematically go through the stages of photography, drawing, sculpture and finally painting. This process of building up my painting bit by bit, the different layers and different paints used to collectively create my piece, fulfils my fascination with architecture and the entire building process from start to finish.

The practice is informed by the recollection of childhood memories and the infantile drawings we produce in our youth; where it can often be found that one colour can portray the hair of a person and a seaside can be envisaged through the simple juxtaposition of sand brown and blue. Memories reminisced through the recollection of prominent colour associated.
ROXANNE SHANKS
My practice has emerged from the idea of personal space. I believe an individual can find peaceful solitude, when within their own private surroundings. By representing human presence through a chair or an object, I explore a person’s memories and personal values. Who sat in the chair? What were they like? What memories do they hold? By presenting these questions, I start to consider the objects, or the chairs, characteristics and form.

My style of work stems from my eyesight, as I can’t see in 3-D. This means the structure of things are of huge importance to me so as to identify it’s 3-Dimensional shape. I look at the underlying structure, simplifying the form into basic geometric shapes or contours. My work recently has specifically been exploring and celebrating the digital age through manipulating nature into new forms. I’ve been looking at the surreal idea of being able to control nature, and rearranging it to have a new structure and meaning.

My work explores the biological development of natural forms through the consideration of their vulnerability to their own individual environment. My practice is largely inspired by my own personal experiences of nature, which have defined and influenced my perception of nature and art. I investigate this through the exploitation of materials that are known to characteristically deteriorate, or are prone to being vulnerable to changes in the environment. By manipulating these materials with external factors such as light, heat and movement, they reflect my ideas of vulnerability in regards of the fragility of life forms.

My work primarily focuses around the scientific and economic changes of man-made and organic material, I am interested in how the man-made world can affect organic matter and what the predominant changes can be surrounding these modifications. Within my practice the use of visual material like sculpture and drawings are very important as they fluently come together to create installations to elude and question the aesthetics of the material. cv251400@students.leeds-art.ac.uk

HANNAH WARD
My practice revolves around relationships, memories and hoarding obsessions; I use personal text messages and past conversations as a main material source to create auto-biographical pieces that represent the fragility of relationships. The digital screenshots have been collected and displayed as a modern twist on a stained-glass window; changing the audience of these conversations from private to public. The ‘Hama’ bead works use a childish format and material, I have taken text and image from the digital world of iMessage, WhatsApp, Tinder and Facebook, and tried to add humour and fun to something quite vulnerable and intimate.

SOPHIE YATES
This practice tenuously situates itself between sculpture and drawing within space. Through intuitive system based compositions the artist uses her oeuvre to create architectural environments, varying in scale, that encourage an awareness within the audience concerning their own position and occupation of space within a world built upon flat pack design.
