Exhibition time!

I am making some paintings to go with some new plastic pieces I have made for the exhibition 'An unofficial Alumni' which showcases art by working artists who have studied or taught at the University Campus Barnsley over the nine years before its closure this year. The brief for my particular project is as follows:

Since I left University in 2011 I have continued to produce art work in some shape or form, when I have the time I like to work on printmaking but I am currently producing plastic jewellery with hand drawn images on them. I have been concentrating on buildings as I think these are the things that people remember most about a place, as I know I do, I also like the detail you can put in to them. So I thought it appropriate to show works similar to this for this exhibition as it would relate well to the point of the exhibition being about people continuing to produce art after graduating from Barnsley Uni. I have a few pieces I'd like to include as well as some new ones I am working on, I am also planning some watercolour paintings to go alongside these pieces. Some of my pieces are scenes from in and around Barnsley, some include buildings and some are more nature based, others are from further afar but my theme is to show the appreciation people have of their hometowns and how this should not be forgotten as every place has it's wonders that you can remember and be proud of. I want to show with my art some key areas from places that I find memorable and beautiful. I think sometimes people forget how lovely the places are that we live in, I have seen people doing this with Barnsley a lot recently and so this is what encouraged me to do this project.
