Exhibition catalogue to accompany Newcastle University First Year Fine Art Students exhibition, Rooted.
Many first-year students describe their work as deeply rooted in their backgrounds—whether that’s agriculture, religion, city life, or immigration. Others are inspired by drag and nightlife, nature and organic forms, the human body, portraiture, shapes, light, colour, and much more!
United by the same course, the students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, creating a diverse body of work. Rooted promises a vibrant showcase of patterns, sensations, and creative expression through both traditional and contemporary media, featuring photography, sculpture, painting, video, text and installation.
