Course MA Fine Art

This showcase serves as the process and pivot from which I have expanded the way I format my work. During this time, I have extensively explored ways in which the context and presentation enable me to create a more intimate and intense experience for the viewer through shared language.

My intention through this project was to create a visual space to promote my work and allow the meaning and context to become more vivid and thought-provoking, this enabled me to tailor the experience using standard and unconventional means of production and presentation.

Through canvas and wall-mounted pieces, I have found a way to express in a more conventional way of creation, along with three-dimensional formats that allowed me to build a scene for these mediums to intersect.
