Expressions of Creativity

An exhibition by the Department of Creative and Festival Arts in the Faculty of Humanities and Education featured the work of 23 graduating students of the BA in Visual Arts. Their work was completed over a rigorous multi-disciplinary foundation programme. Here are just three of the delightful pieces displayed by the students.

	‘Hands’: Afiya Waithe, a talented young designer, enjoys working with different materials to create sculptural pieces and contemporary paintings. Her pieces capture the elements of human nature in an innovative way by combining a resilient material to recreate the human form with her ceramic hand lights.
	‘Soucouyant’: A visitor admires a painting by Anika Best. Anika loves creating texture and mixed media art and in this particular piece, she combines this love with her favourite theme– folklore – to recreate some of the characters from her childhood.
	‘Woman in red pants’: Richard Rampersad is a young and upcoming vibrant artist. Alongside his practice as a painter, Richard also practices jewellery design, ceramics, textile design and Rangoli art. Richard says he strives to translate thoughts and visions on the canvas with the ripeness of colour and texture.
