Ou Topos Ferrier, Andy Cluer, BA (Hons) Fine Art

Louise Riou-Djukic is a multidisciplinary artist working mainly with performance to expose the vulnerability of the human body and psyche. Often drawing from personal experience, her work plays with discomfort, endurance and compassion. In 2016, the Riou-Djukic exhibited Eat Me Eat You, as part of the college's annual Degree Shows. Using rising bread dough for its cultural symbolism, the performance piece underlined female society's battle against food and diet-culture. For each performance, the artist made the dough and then layed in it for an approximate time of two hours, while the dough raised slowly around her body, then she stood up, slowly separating herself from it; leaving a print of her body that didn't last.

As part of the 2018 Degree Shows, BA (Hons) Fine Art students Jale Sengul installed a kitchen into the college's studio as a stage for satirical interactive art. Playful and performative, Sengul's work centres on alternative beauty regimes using edible ingredients such as fruit and vegetables.

BA (Hons) Fine Art student Sophia Roddan, exhibited Horn Sack at the 2016 Degree Shows, graduating with first-class honours and opting to continue her studies at postgraduate level, studying MA Fine Art at Plymouth College of Art. Horn's Sack is a large-scale 3D install, based on the treatment of people classed as "insane" in Victorian asylums. Tackling themes of patient coercion and the struggle present in treatment regimes, Roddan draws upon her experience as a school nurse in London and running art classes with the mental health charity MIND.

BA (Hons) Fine Art student Siobhan Fedden’s artistic and curatorial practice explores systems within the art world, specifically focusing on the role of institutions and their relationship with technology. Working primarily with moving image, in 2014 Fedden used the opportunity of a residency at contemporary art space KARST to explore the construction of projection spaces in galleries, using found materials within the space to produce the striking 3D structure.

BA (Hons) Fine Art student Harriet Kotvic explores the abstraction of language and human experience through installation. Referencing the concept of Flat Time Theory, Kotvics explores the event between ‘nothingness’ and ‘something’. Referencing Absurdist Theatre (Ionesco, Beckett), the fabric acts as an expression of existential and metaphysical distress in a nonlinear timeline – whilst also intimating the inter-connectivity of the human condition.
