Fine Art Studio Site and Context

Introduction
The world continues to be a challenging, and somewhat inexplicable experience built upon instabilities and uncertainties… WHAT A MESS! The very nature of contemporary visual arts is to place this world into sharp focus; hence we are realising a resurgence of reactive energy within our subcultures. This positive energy is recognisably prevalent amongst our students of 2025 and witnessed in their community and exhibition.
The studios hold a vital clue to this energy and retort to world perplexities, it is the core of stability and community, where individual voices are listened to, dialogues are extensive, and freedom of speech is explored and celebrated.
AMESSWHA is a merging of words, poignant and poetically creative, alluding to global turbulence, Eton Mess and a choice take-away menu… to embrace AMESSWHA in its full embodiment you take-away a varied portion of critical discourse (all allergies are catered for) that is deeply rooted in our graduating students.
We wish our students of 2025 a positive future with their incorrigible reactive and dynamic voices, adding to the global fight to secure the arts and the freedom of expression.
Professor Sue Williams.
Our Work
‼«±è±ð²Ô&²Ô²ú²õ±è;°Â¾±»å±ð’
Mixed media installation
“The ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.†- Margaret Atwood
Behind every woman is an all-consuming void, ready to eat her, then itself.

‘Looking Forward to the Weekend’
Sculptural installation
A sandwich of church iconography and pub aesthetic. Cotter aims to find the middle ground between two seemingly separated spaces, the church and the pub.

‘A²õ²â²õ³Ù´Ç±ô±ð’&²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Mixed media installation
Robyn Evans has created this particular line of work in order to commemorate her best friend Amy, that died in September of 2023. The artwork presented in this exhibition portrays the isolation and grief that stems from no longer having someone so important there.

‘R¾±³Ù³Ü²¹±ô¾±²õ³Ù¾±³¦â€™
Mixed media installation
Hamblet explores the deep bond between women and nature. By pushing boundaries and challenging taboos, she celebrates the power of the feminine body and the Earth’s spiritual strength.

‘H U S K’
Mixed media installation
Haunting, distorting, stretching, decaying. It clings to skin and peels away like old wallpaper in a house that remembers too much. Stitching together remnants of memory - some fragile, some rigid - shaping spaces that exist between comfort and claustrophobia, presence and absence.

‘Time and Everything In Between’
Video, sound and Super 8 film
A video installation exploring time, perception, and memory. Olejniczak’s work with expired Super 8 film becomes a vessel for ghostly, ephemeral works that possess strands of decay and recollection.

‘Transparency Beyond Boundaries’
Acrylic on Perspex
Shoval’s work is a series of work that doesn’t imply any specific themes but instead encourages its audience to share their opinions to create diverse conversation and a sustained form of expression

‘S²â²Ô³¦³ó°ù´Ç²Ô¾±³¦¾±³Ù²â’&²Ô²ú²õ±è;
Mixed media installation
Szczygiel develops her practice around the concept of preserving the uniqueness of every human being, which becomes the basis of the value of freedom. Focusing on the process becomes a transformative narrative, using mixed media and materials that constitutes a remarkable language of art in which “the living word†serves a pivotal role.

‘I’m Just a Girl’
Mixed media installation
Moving through pain, pleasure, chaos, and rebirth. Athiwolf’s work captures the messy, unfiltered essence of being. It speaks to the relentless repetition of “slayy†and survive, of breaking and becoming. In a world that tries to define and confine, this is an unapologetic declaration of presence, resilience, and the beautifully brutal rhythm of being.

‘Wrong Way Up’
Mixed media installation
A taste of a future without humans. Warner’s immersive post-human world is filled with domestic materials under UV light. A new ecology is realised where these materials have come together to become something new.

‘03112001.´³±Ê·¡³Ò’
Mixed media
Toying with the inability of capturing the human essence within the machine; A portable scanner and its versions of the identity it distorts, is in constant conversation.

‘A³Ü²Ô³Ù¾±±ð&²Ô²ú²õ±è;µþ±ð±ð’
Mixed media installation
Wilkins’ collection of work excavates classical path making, dry wells and undetermined damp spots, to explore the constant nature of ephemeral, reproductive nodes.
