Submission: Photo Album. Title: “J.C.Reilly” This piece of work is a photo album of my Dad, John Reilly, who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy called “spastic paraplegia” which affects the muscles in the backs of his legs, which prevents him from walking properly. I wanted to create a photo album/scrapbook with a scientific element to it, to show a timeline of him growing up with this disease without knowing, until 2009. I have created this piece so that people can become aware of this disease. All the money will go to the charity: “scope” to helping with funding to fight this disease. http://skintrace.tumblr.com/ http://thisiscontemporaryart.tumblr.com/ http://thisisblockemporaryart.tumblr.com/

6. Charlotte Price
Submission: A selection of three books Title: A Journey My three books are all based around my current project in which I am looking into natural paths and patterns. I am looking at hands in particular, and the natural patterns they produce and using stitch to replicate this. The idea is that I am following a journey of paths when creating my stitch patterns much like the hand can be a symbol of the journey of life through its lines, as believed in palm reading. My books show images of followed paths and also some I have created myself with stich, showing both the neat and reverse side to portray the idea of ‘ wrong and right’ paths, ‘mistakes’ and ‘clear and uncertain’ paths. http://charlotte2jane.tumblr.com/
7. Charlotte Rowley
Submissions: A flip book and some postcards. Title: The Life of Animals - Real and not Real My flip book is made from photos done in my last project, when I visited Meanwood Valley Urban Farm. I placed my plasticine horses in context to the animals. I then changed the effects of the photographs on Photoshop, to make them look more illustrative and different. I also added scanned tracings of the animals from all of the photographs because I thought they were the best features. chazbaz_2@hotmail.com

11. Dan Horsman
Submissions: Two Books Book one: A long scroll in the Chinese tradition. The artwork within the scroll is similar in style to that of Sumi-e ink painting, though for me I have created the images through computer as it more flexible. It is also printed onto handmade paper. The story within is that of George and the Dragon and is changed to reference how myths from the past are constantly re-written in the future to make the story more engaging or more exciting. Book Two: A simple slot and tab book with a mirror set in the back. It is in reference to how we know ourselves apposed to how other people believe they know us. dh91930@students.leeds-art.ac.uk
12. Ed Kelly
Submission: 3 books casted in bronze Title: “life‘s secrets”. Heavy , tactile and frustrating, as of course it can’t be opened. A detailed and quality cast.
13. Elisa Heikkila
Submission: Ten drawings in simple card frames of drawings made with tea and pencil on newsprint. Title: Untitled. My work is concerned with motherhood. The submitted work stemmed from a project which dealt with the possible individual identity loss that accompanies pregnancy and motherhood. Women have often described pregnancy as a time when your body becomes public property, even complete strangers may approach you and touch your stomach without asking, as pregnancy is often glorified and deemed as the ‘purpose’ of women. The drawings reflect on the idea, yet they can also be appreciated in their own right. www.elisaheikkila.co.uk

A series of three scaled down NHS files, containing five personal photographs developed from a found 35mm film, also containing a hand written letter to the person within the photographs. The images possibly taken by an orthodontist are of a girl who appears to be undergoing a consultation at a dental practice, for braces perhaps. Finally, there is a hand written letter by myself to girl in the photos attempting to trace back the history and journey of the images, at some point I’m hoping to receive a response, which will complete the book/file.

19. Granville Lythe
Submission: Three Booklets. Title: SKIN Two of the designs are made from folded paper and one from card. Mask Booklet: Viewing skin can give us a feeling of admiration or revulsion. The portrayal of skin can demonstrate different ideas about what is real. It might look super realistic or not at all. It may just be a surface covering or a shell. I want skin in my work to reflect an inner psychological turmoil using distortion to portray this idea. Plaster Head Booklet: A plaster casting can make someone question what is on display the viewer or the viewed, the real or the unreal, the genuine or the fake. The appearance of another human being gives us the sense that we have been deceived. What they thought was real was just a plaster casting. However, such work also allows us to scrutinise a stranger, or ourselves to a degree not normally possible. http://glythe.wordpress.com/
20. Haley Green
Submission: Two books, and one made collaboratively. Visible Mark of Life: Photographs, text, paper and Visible Memories: Latex and Ribbon. I have a pamphlet book that contains photographs and text, to tell the stories of peoples scars and how they got them. My project at the moment is looking at marks people obtain throughout their lives, I have also been looking at healing the process of scars which is the concept behind my latex book and also the visible marks they leave behind like memories. http://skin-trace.tumblr.com/

30. Laura Holmes
Submissions: Handmade Books Laura’s fascination with tactile objects, stories, and memories has led her to explore family heirlooms and question their value. She investigates the thoughts and feelings which can be evoked by specific objects. As an interdisciplinary artist she combines a range of processes and techniques to produce one off handmade artist books, constructed from thrift type objects and recycled book pages. She hopes to celebrate their history and bring new life to these once forgotten artifacts. Laura explores her ideas through illustration, photography, manipulating materials and creative writing, collecting these together to inform the final outcomes. She creates works which are both functional and sculptural, each piece is truly unique.
31. Lex Clarke
Submission: A series a flip books. Title – ‘The Journey of Movement’. My submissions are a series of flipbooks, which contain images symbolising movement and journeys, working together with the physical self-action of looking at a flipbook. The still image changes to a moving one, the whole collection that then becomes a story, a story that the person handling the book controls. lex-clarke.tumblr.com
32. Megan Baker
Submission: Books Title: Embossed Notebook A notebook that reflects the idea and shape of skin cells by using individual copper fragments to emboss paper. Concentrating on the process of my work I have used the metal rollers in the workshop (which were used to create my jewelry) to emboss the paper. http://cicatrization.blogspot.com

34. Monika Szynkielewska
Submission: A series of A5 altered sketchbooks that have been either cut through, engraved or rastered on the laser cutter. The sketchbooks are not made by me they are bought from the library and paper chase store. Title: Alice’s altered sketchbooks. Using images from my project ‘Skin - trace’ I edited them using Illustrator and engraved/rastered them onto the sketchbook. All images I am using are my photographs, which have been edited to look more bold and graphic. The images are based on a girl called ‘Alice’, I used her name in the title because you can clearly see that the images that have been engraved onto my sketchbook is a face, and I thought people should know who’s face it is.
35. Natalie Fyfe
Submissions: DIY-OLOGY - Do it yourself Arty Science kits.
Consists of a selection of images from my Art/Science Collaboration. After spending some time at the Cell Biology Labs at St. James Hospital for my current Collaboration Project I began my own science experiments at home and in my studio using ‘easy to do’ Science tests. I began to use these initial tests as a fundamental drawing tool to explore childhood memories, Logical and Emotional thought, quality of life, and the life cycle of materials using a variety of mainly Organic Materials, which have inspired my 2d and 3d artworks. DIY-OLOGY Arty Science Kits provide people with step-by-step instructions and the materials that I used in my initial experiments, giving people the opportunity to participate and have fun with their own science experiments at home, exploring science in a creative way. natti-noo-noo.blogspot.co.uk

Submission: A series of short Plays� by Open Set Theatre. The content is a series of short scripts bound together as an A5 book(ish). www.opensettheatre.co.uk opensettheatre@gmail.com
39. Rachael Forster
Submission: A single concertina book made of five copper plate pages. Each page is differently and progressively etched with the imagery of a bell, which is the object I am working with, in looking at memory through possessions and the loss that is inherent in the passage of time from ‘event’ to ‘memory’, hence the progressive destruction of the image. There are no images of the book at present as the plates are at the stage prior to exposing the image so there is not much to look at. The book will be kept in a small bookrum backed box with a metal plaque displaying the stamped title which, as of yet, has not been decided. There are no more books in the series, as the copper is expensive and the etching process will take up to a day to complete at the extreme end of the etching.
40. Rachael Hewitt

48. Roxanne Van Zyl
Submission: Books of sorts Photo etched copper shim which has been folded into an origami crane which has Inserts / Booklets under the wings which messages / secrets can be written on. I will also include a hardback bukram covered presentation box which the crane can be taken away in. I have been considering objects of significance and memory. How and why we collect mementos and the way in which our memory degrades over time.

52. Sophie Clarke
Submission: Books Three books with three different style book spines made in the metal workshop. The images are examples and a starting point of how I want my books to finally look. I plan to japanese side stitch the pages of the book and then sew them to the book spine.
53. Sophie Gilbert
Submission: An A5 catalogue of my past works and postcards. The catalogue has images and descriptions of pieces of my work from the last 2-3 years. Currently studying on an art and design course Sophie has a multi media approach which works with the compositional and manipulatory qualities of film and photography. Working to create visual narratives, her work spans from observations and close connections with family members. This image has been taken from a recent examination into the stereotypes of family photography, intrigued by an essay by Kerry Daly which states that there is indeed a stereotype to the ‘family snapshot’ this work corresponds to see wether a template can be made for the viewer to fill with their own memories.
54. Steph Bryant
Submission: A selection of small Japanese bound books Title: ‘Explorations in the city space with uncontrolled materials’ I am interested in looking at ways in which one can make a mark, how marks and recordings can be made in interesting ways and focusing on the city as a theme. I have looked into recording the city environment through the use of subversive processes, taking pictures through different materials and resources can alter the outcome of how we view the environment that surrounds us, its always interesting to have another point of view. If we were to always follow the same and similar views and traits in life then the world would be a boring place to live. stephbryant.tumblr.com stephrosiecollab.wordpress.com
55. Zara Noble
Submission: Punk packs, including badges, mono prints, sprays and stickers. I also have began producing some punk guides, these are zine type booklets. My work revolves around the youth subculture punk and I take traditional techniques and imagery to produce graphic statements and slogans in the form of badges, booklets and prints. I am obsessed with hand cutting stencils using the same content and this has become a huge part of my current and hopefully my future practice.
56. Inter xy.
Is a publication produced by students studying B.A (Hons) Art and Design (Interdisciplinary) at Leeds College of Art. It also refers to the idea of possible vector positions, the in-between or inter-disciplinary nature of the course. The range of publications and works on display are produced by students across all three years. These particular students study a program that encourages innovation both in making and in thinking. They have explored art and design practice through a diverse range of strategies, media and technical approaches. This remarkable interdisciplinary approach allows for an open mind to be kept about concept, media and methods. This practice-based course and the students who work to make it their own reflect the contemporary working practice of the creative industries and explore new and exciting ways of working between the disciplines of art and design.
