The Secret

The Secret

Miss C. Preston

Chesterfield

Miss Catherine Elaine Preston of Chesterfield has fallen asleep. Born in Chesterfield, she was a life long resident, although she could not wait to leave the place to live by the coast of Scotland.

A wannabe artist she spent her time daydreaming and enjoying life. She constantly smiled, unless bored, she was a happy go lucky individual.

A scatty blonde whose interests were multidisciplinary art, Mr Wolfe, Spirituality and never having to get a 9 – 5 job. Oh and a bottle of blonde hair dye, she lived a happy life.

Cat looks forward to seeing you in the next life.

AimsTo produce a mixed range of multidisciplinary art pieces that informs and questions the audience’s own personal thoughts on life, death and life after death.

To build on the practical skills I have gained during the BA and develop my own personal style.

To develop a greater awareness of art textiles and research relevant artists working within this field.
