"My students have been phenomenal throughout this year and in particular during the lockdown period. The group is widely diverse, with many different cultures, religions and languages being practiced. This group of amazingly talented young people show us how we can move forward as an inclusive culture. The students produced many cutting edge visuals and strong messages of hope and unity. The group was keen for the BLM issue not to become a one off or a fad and so we decided as a group to extend the project throughout the year. Inviting all to join in to celebrate our diversity, respect, tolerance and unity. I am so proud to have been their tutor and look forward to their future visual creations, thoughts, debates and expressions. I am indeed blessed."

Two hands have the same purpose of cooperating with each other and moving towards each other. This piece expresses that the more we cooperate as human beings the more chance we have of achieving our goals for humanity; peace, love, justice, equality and a secure future which is inclusive for all in our wonderful diverse cultures.

My final project is based around the idea of isolation. I will explore its connections to mental illness and examine the different aspects and interpretations of isolation. I believe that many people feel alone at crucial times in their life, particularly if they are facing difficult personal issues or maybe just trying to make sense of the world around them.

The ‘Lockdown Art Postcards from the ‘Edge’ project started as a direct response to the Governments lockdown rules and regulations. Students, staff and the wider community were invited to create art using the template of a postcard and then post the cards 'as hugs' to project co-ordinator, art tutor Eve Robinson. The project has produced some wonderful examples of mixed media creativity whilst at the same time providing a platform for student’s to express their hopes fears and aspirations in uncertain times.
