Welcome
Leeds College of Art is proud of being one to the few remaining independent specialist art & design institutions in the UK. The College has a culture of engaging with ‘live’ external events promoting a professional and outward looking ethos amongst its students. The BA(Hons) Fine Art programme recognizes that the students should be prepared intellectually, practically and professionally and the this years graduate exhibition celebrates the conflation of these qualities.
Students on the programme explore drawing, painting, sculpture, lens- based media, installation, performance, social and public art through a series of critically positioned modules. They also actively engage with exhibiting and public facing practices as key knowledge instruments in Fine Art practice. This publication, ‘Original Rework’, draws together the profiles of the individual students with a sample of external projects undertaken and often devised by them whilst at the College.
The final exhibition in Leeds celebrates the achievement of the students’ degree. It then tours to London to be seen as part of Free Range, the annual art show at Truman Brewery in Brick Lane to celebrate the first year of their professional careers.
I applaud the achievement of this year’s graduating students and warmly invite you to explore their work in both exhibitions.

How would Paul Cezanne have responded to the title of our exhibition? The evidence suggests that he would have embraced it - but on his own terms.
In his early years Cezanne spent a considerable time copying paintings in the Louvre and working in the landscape alongside fellow artists with whom he discussed his ideas. Even in his old age he described in a letter to a young artist the intention of his ongoing work as a wish ‘ to redo Poussin from nature’, words that chime with our ‘ Original Rework’. Cezanne, the revolutionary and solitary painter, was nevertheless involved in a dialogue, the kind of dialogue on which art history is built, where ideas are appropriated from the tradition and adapted to enable the expression of something personal and contemporary.
When Jimi Hendrix launched into ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock he knew the sedate respect hitherto given to his National Anthem would exaggerate the raucous anarchy of his guitar transcription. Transcriptions are made in all the arts and are another facet of the dialogue between practitioners of the past and the present. In
Original Rework
painting the most celebrated examples are Francis Bacon’s series of Screaming Popes. Our knowledge of the calm and impassive Pope Innocent X in Velazquez’s portrait is used by Bacon to magnify the scream and isolated torment of his transcription. Bacon and Hendrix borrow directly from the canon, adapt it to a particular purpose and make it entirely their own.
Not all dialogues from history are as transparent as those already described. The outrage caused by Tracey Emin’s ‘My Bed’ suggested it was a work without precedent rather than the latest manifestation of a theme with a substantial and distinguished history. A seamless transition had seen images of beds on the gallery wall elide to a slept – in - bed on the gallery floor: Titian, Rembrandt, Goya and Van Gogh included beds in major paintings before Rauschenberg, in ‘Bed’ nailed his bed to the gallery wall. Following Rauschenberg, Oldenberg and Kienholz included beds in environmental works and the sequence culminated with Emin’s ‘My Bed’ of 1998.
The artists involved in this continuum do not refer to each other directly, indeed they use

The teaching philosophy of the Fine Art Department defines a method of working but does not impose subject matter on final year students. Making a choice of subject is the responsibility of the student. It is an onerous task in which personal aptitude struggles to find an independent place in the fragmented and uncertain world of contemporary art. The work on show by the emerging artists in this exhibition does not represent an answer or a conclusion to this problem but rather the search to date to make a coherent personal statement amidst and despite this complex uncertainty.

the bed with very different motives, but each is dependent on the last for opening the way and creating the conditions necessary in which to make their own contribution.
Cezanne was at pains to point out the dangers of being over - dependent on the work of other artists. He castigated the painter Emile Bernard for being academic and relying too heavily in his own work on the paintings he had studied in the museums. Cezanne accepted the necessity of learning from others but was emphatic in the belief that the artist’s personal response to the subject was of paramount importance.
The teaching of Fine Art has had to find a similar balance to the one advocated by Cezanne and an understanding of ‘Original Rework’ on these terms is at the core of our philosophy at Leeds College of Art. To inform about contemporary and traditional art is vital, but if overplayed can be undermining and result in pastiche. Our aim at Leeds College of Art is to develop the composure required to make work that embodies a personal response and a depth of contextual understanding with which to go out and meet the rigours of the art world ahead.

Ethan Culican
Using classical styles and themes, my work illustrates a mythological story. Whilst considering the validity and believability of mythological stories, I am attempting to create work that manages to sit in an undetermined space in history.

Emma Mort
My practice takes into consideration the delicacy of life and I aim to project this into my work. I am inspired by emotion and the human mind and try to interpret hidden aspects of life and subjects that are considered taboo. Look at the relationship between materials.

Karoline White
My art practice consists of fabricating visually aesthetic sculptural forms, predominantly using knitting techniques. My current work focuses upon the collaboration of two elements portraying a negative element, coinciding with positive element, in a colourful and playful woven expressive form.

Simon Mann
My practice has developed over the three years, from using mixed media and sticking to my comforts. As the years have progressed I have found myself exploring different materials and ideas, and as a result I went on to look at using blood.

Jenny Parkin
I’m interested in the greedy and wasteful way we buy things in the UK. Lately I’ve been constructing realities for my camera to explore the fiction of fulfilment via consumption.

Rosie Furnival
I am interested in the idea of bringing together history and personal experience into a portrait, by mapping and visualizing a diary of the individual. Working in mixed media, I wish to show an insight into who we are and why.

Jenna Watt
As a colourist, my current practice explores the possibilities in print-making. Concentrating on the idea of ‘home’, I create personal landscapes inspired by constantly changing surroundings.

Handling Space – Being Barbara
This was a workshop for the public, devised and delivered by the students.
The public were invited to rework their favourite piece of sculpture after visiting The Hepworth Wakefield on its opening weekend.
In order to prepare for it the students undertook the ‘Equality and Quality in the Visual Arts’ workshop with Anne Cunningham, Chief Executive of The Art House Wakefield, where ‘Being Barbara’ took place.

E-J Langley
My art is based around the idea of beauty, using my own body to see how far beauty can be taken.

Scottish Sculpture Workshop – Bronze Casting Residency
A week long field trip to the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Aberdeenshire took place. The project aimed to interface the tradition of metal making with questions about the social functions of art and questions regarding the value of symbolic objects in the context of the UK preparing to host the 2012 Olympics.
It was supported by Master founder Kabir Hussein and hosted in Scotland by Dr Nuno Sauramento. The result was students pouring and creating their own works in bronze in the SSW foundry.

Joe Taylor
Distortion has always been an aspect in my work. I am interested in the way we interpret the world visually, and how each individuals experience differs. It is up to us how we interpret what we see. I explore this through image making.

Adam Jenkins
My work engages with ideas of showing urban movements and landscapes through drawing and sculpture. This manifests in work that is generated from specific concepts, processes or places through diverse media such as light, video, installation, sculpture and photography.

Anamaria Marzec-Smith
I am fascinated by faces, and my work explores portraiture in a way to depict the personality and emotion of the face behind the brush. Through drawing and painting I aim to capture the feelings in a unique way.

Laura Smith
I am a mixed media artist who recreates significant memories from my childhood, introducing material, colour and pattern to produce a deeper childlike presence. My work explores family photographs that trigger memory, and looks into the importance of the connection between the artist and their work.

My practice endeavors to create a transfer of energies and their base states through the handmade endurance of paper cutting. The purpose revolves around the interaction between the paper and the light, the result comments on the fluctuating existence of corporeal and immaterial communications.

Dan Eccles
My fine art practice involves using everyday or found objects to create artwork for me. I alter the role of each object so that instead of working how it should do, it works to create minimalistic drawings.

Joseph Lang
My work closely explores elements of human nature, life and culture. I am looking at the presence of the object within our society and questioning the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract.

Samantha Vince
As an Artist I explore the boundaries of what painting can be, experimenting with unusual medias and non-traditional methods of creating work. My most recent experiments have been informed by encounters with growth, mould and organic materials.

Cristina Ciccone
My practice is the documentation of my mother’s schizophrenia and the tragic yet beautiful experience of growing up in a working class environment. My main inspiration comes from childhood memory and the stigma towards mental health that remains within society.

Elizabeth Loren Trainer
My practise is concerned with creating art that has confessional and communicational elements. Often relaying brief moments of physical and mental pain, often my own feelings, into figurative sculptural forms using materials associated with vulnerability and defence simultaneously.

Olivia Berggren
I tend to keep my practice as natural as I can, using earthy tones and natural elements. Experimenting with processes constantly, removing myself from the outcome, and being the catalyst, to allow the materials to show their possibility and potential.

Maxwell Rushton
I reflect on my position within a community of young artists journeying to establish themselves. As I have limited experience to artistically be true to, the subject of the lack of ‘raw experience’ is currently explored in my transitional practice.

Lisa Bradford
My practice comments on mass production in society today: the cheaply made products of everyday life result in a great deal of waste. Considering materials and objects I create scenarios where the object fails: leading to its own destruction, inevitably discarded.

I am a conceptual artist and my work centres around exploring the effects isolated space has on human ‘essence’. I focus mainly on using photography and video to highlight the qualities of stillness and motion that relate to the situations I capture.

Sameena Azaam
My work focuses on architecturally, structured space and the distinguishable way in which it employs boundaries to create a controlled environment. Boundaries, borders, barriers, walls are all descriptive trajectories of the qualities of separation, division and isolation that are reinforced in such places.

With my art, the audience response is the most important aspect. My aim is to make my viewer feel uncomfortable and intimidated. I have experimented with materials and colour, while figuring out what is most affective to achieve my aim.

Artist/Artisan/Craftsman/Sculptor –I believe materiality is critical to art. Material ought to support the work’s properties and lead the processes within which the work is developed. I explore the modern and historical aspects of cast metals with their close relationship.

My work is based around issues between the animal world and our own. I like to consider my art as a visual investigation into these issues, driven by my own curiosity and interest. The medium of printmaking is central to this.

Rachel Worthington
My practice pivots upon exploring the use of Super 8 film within art (a practice that unconventionally works directly into the film without the use of a camera) to result in the question - what is film? Reoccurring themes include a broken society and memories.

My interest lies with mark-making and autonomous action; a series of marks and colours is an extension of the unconscious mind. The paintings are an exploration into the obsession with aesthetics and the painting’s ability to relate to the viewer.

The body is the common form that we all share but it may also be so alien with the thoughts it may provoke. Instead of fixing the identity I try to open to surface for perception and reflective thoughts.

M-Exhibition
84-86 Arches Railway St. Leeds LS9 8HB
29th-31st March 2011
M Exhibition was a student devised exhibition fully conceptualised, curated and created by the students.
Students joined together with ADEPT (artist duo Shanaz Gulzar and Steve Manthorp) to undertake a “recorded walk” in order to raise funds.
They independently successfully negotiated an enigmatic venue of three railway arches from Network Rail to home the project.

I am exploring hinterlands between art and science. My practice revolves around the manipulation of narratives through questioning the contemporary role of documentation. I am influenced by an emerging philosophical paradigm entitled ‘Critical Realism’. I strive to capture the passage of time.

I combine colour, light and material to create sensory space and images. Using three elements in my work, I identify the struggle between colour and form. I experiment with ways of working that will represent both colour and form as the primary.

My practice has derived from ideas of unborn human embryos/fetuses. This sensitive issue questions and sparks a reaction towards what happens to unborn life. Through exploration it has led me to create Christening fonts using a variety of materials.

Claude Heath (2003, cited in Kingston 2003) states that his blind drawings help him to get rid of all the stuff that he thinks he wants and allows something else to happen. I’m interested in the possibilities of drawing, the imperfections and randomness of mark making.

By rejecting the idea of art as object and immersing oneself in an equilibrium creative process, an understanding of the true nature of things may be acquired. As repetitive actions converge, a matrix forms from which familiar things show themselves.
