Abstract

Studying the MA Multidisciplinary Printmaking course made a significant impact on my practice and understanding of myself as an artist. My work can be neatly summarised using two words: shouting and recycling.
 Protest is an essential component of my practice and I use it to communicate around social issues using found and recycled materials. Being heavily inspired by the DIY punk movement, concerned about my impact on the environment, and having a low-income background has meant that high-quality art materials often aren’t available to me unless they are gifted or scavenged. This forced me to take an experimental, non-traditional approach to making work, which became a cornerstone of my practice. The MA enabled me to explore new processes within these parameters, but also to incorporate other skills, materials, and processes, such as textiles and embroidery. Additionally, I used my time on the course to build a stronger brand for myself as a freelance artist.
