The BA in Visual Arts Student Exhibition, hosted by the Department for Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), was held earlier this month.

The body of work on display by the 2014 graduating students of the BA Visual Arts degree was as versatile as it was engaging. Following in this vein, students in the Certificate programme also held an exhibition of their work, from their two-year programme, which included a selection of drawings, paintings, fabric design, ceramics and outdoor sculptural forms.

Our cover is a piece by BA student Aisha Provoteaux, a life-sized paper sculpture that illustrates her “experience mediating feelings of loss through self-awareness.” Titled: The Void – a Self Portrait, the sculpture can be articulated at the joints and is able to stand without internal support.
