She's a Lady!


The artists, minus Katie.

'Nest'
The work was themed around "femininity" and what we perceive to be feminine. I went on the fact that women nest, make their homes nice places to live in. Since moving back home, I have this urge to nest, to make a house my own. I made it using chicken wire and some fibres that I bought from a shop in North London. I also added a touch of sparkle and beading, to suggest it being like a magpie nest, as I love sparkly and shiny things! The lights and sparkle glasses add to the sparkling effect.

Gabi's safari cupcakes!



Holly's 'OOh la la' cupcakes.

Emma Morris' drawings based on a childhood argument with her brothers over the remote control. Very funny!

Laurie Lax's drawing. Laurie also had a video piece which I found hard to photograph as it was on screen. The video was shot from an old manor house on an estate in Ireland. It was set up like a traditional painting, with a foreground, middle ground and background.
