In the speaking halls of that university my understanding of what art is was blown open. Down the labyrinthine corridors, behind the studio and practice room doors disciplines merged – photography, sound, poetry, painting, film, sculpture, performance, dance, drawing, movement, installation, exhibition. Boundaries between art and life were questioned, our art spilled onto the streets, into the caves beneath Nottingham and beyond the boundaries of the cities edge.
Contemporary there meant a constantly evolving conversation with existence, something responsive, eclectic, of the moment. The art created was a raw gaggle of sensory responses to the state of being human.
Contemporary Arts Degree
By the end of my third year the veined lines of my interests had woven themselves into a twisted braid – trance states, dreams, Jung, art as therapy, as ritual and as glue for communities.
