4. Brendan Reilly

Submission: Photo Album.

Title: “J.C.Reilly”

This piece of work is a photo album of my Dad, John Reilly, who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy called “spastic paraplegia” which affects the muscles in the backs of his legs, which prevents

him from walking properly. I wanted to create a photo album/scrapbook with a scientific ele-ment to it, to show a timeline of him growing up with this disease without knowing, until 2009. I

have created this piece so that people can become aware of this disease. All the money will go to the charity: “scope” to helping with funding to fight this disease.

Submission: A Book

Title: microscopic processes

Book 1 is a collection of of photographs that i have taken of different residues that have been left over from a range of different processes. These processes range from photo etchings to scratching away at

the skin of a wax cube til theres nothing left. Other examples include- latex, silcone, pewter.

5. Chantelle Clark

6. Charlotte Price

Submission: A selection of three books

Title: A Journey

My three books are all based around my current project in which I am looking into natural paths and patterns. I am looking at hands in particular, and the natural patterns they

produce and using stitch to replicate this. The idea is that I am following a journey of paths when creating my stitch patterns much like the hand can be a symbol of the journey of life

through its lines, as believed in palm reading. My books show images of followed paths and also some I have created myself with stich, showing both the neat and reverse side to portray

the idea of ‘ wrong and right’ paths, ‘mistakes’ and ‘clear and uncertain’ paths.

7. Charlotte Rowley

Submissions: A flip book and some postcards.

Title: The Life of Animals - Real and not Real

My flip book is made from photos done in my last project, when I visited Meanwood Valley Urban Farm. I placed my plasticine horses in context to the animals. I then changed the effects of the photo-

graphs on Photoshop, to make them look more illustrative and different. I also added scanned tracings of the animals from all of the photographs because I thought they were the best features.

8. Chris Winter

Submissions: Doodle Books.

A collection of ‘doodle’ books, hand drawn doodles to be completed by the buyer. The doodles revolve around the office space and daydreams.

10. Daniel Bamford

Small Story book with a little story about a torrid love afair between a spider and a snake.Collaborative book will have the stacked spines of several books made out of coloured glass.

Submissions: Two Books

Book one: A long scroll in the Chinese tradition. The artwork within the scroll is similar in style to that of Sumi-e ink painting, though for me I have created the images through computer as it more flexible.

It is also printed onto handmade paper. The story within is that of George and the Dragon and is changed to reference how myths from the

past are constantly re-written in the future to make the story more engaging or more exciting.Book Two: A simple slot and tab book with a mirror set in the back. It is in reference to how we know

ourselves apposed to how other people believe they know us.

Its a kind of serial-picture-documentation, fitting to each theme. I wanted to give the people the pos-sibility to see things with different eyes. It is always good to get new impressions and see how other

people see the world.

13. Elisa Heikkila

Submission: Ten drawings in simple card frames of drawings made with tea and pencil on newsprint.

Title: Untitled.

My work is concerned with motherhood. The submitted work stemmed from a project which dealt with the possible individual identity loss that accompanies pregnancy and motherhood. Women have often described pregnancy as a time when your body becomes public property, even complete strangers may

approach you and touch your stomach without asking, as pregnancy is often glorified and deemed as the ‘purpose’ of women. The drawings reflect on the idea, yet they can also be appreciated in their own right.

Submission: Series of three replicated NHS dentist/patient file, containing five photographs and a hand written letter.

A series of three scaled down NHS files, containing five personal photographs developed from a found 35mm film, also containing a hand written letter to the person within the photographs. The images possibly taken by an orthodontist are of a girl who appears to be undergoing a consultation at a dental practice, for

braces perhaps.Finally, there is a hand written letter by myself to girl in the photos attempting to trace back the history and

journey of the images, at some point I’m hoping to receive a response, which will complete the book/file.

Submission: Two different types of book.Book 1: Is a sunset flip book and bound together using white thread. The images are printed onto

printer paper to make it easier for the book to flip.Book 2: Is a concertina book which shows the world going to sleep on one side and then the world wak-

ing up on the other.

17. Evelyn Wong

Submission: A selection of Books

Overall I am trying to display three visual diaries of the process I have been doing for a skin project.I am trying to use three different ways of display with the book contents, the embossed pattern of lace,

orange and onion skins and the drawings lace pattern, also the ink drawing of the cells pattern, which are

the evidence of me making a further process of the investigation.

19. Granville Lythe

Submission: Three Booklets.Title: SKIN

Two of the designs are made from folded paper and one from card. Mask Booklet: Viewing skin can give us a feeling of admiration or revulsion. The portrayal of skin can demonstrate different ideas about what is real. It might look super realistic or not at all. It may just be a

surface covering or a shell. I want skin in my work to reflect an inner psychological turmoil using distor-tion to portray this idea.

Plaster Head Booklet: A plaster casting can make someone question what is on display the viewer or the viewed, the real or the unreal, the genuine or the fake. The appearance of another human being gives

us the sense that we have been deceived. What they thought was real was just a plaster casting. However, such work also allows us to scrutinise a stranger, or ourselves to a degree not normally possible.

20. Haley Green

Submission: Two books, and one made collaboratively.

Visible Mark of Life: Photographs, text, paper and Visible Memories: Latex and Ribbon.I have a pamphlet book that contains photographs and text, to tell the stories of peoples scars and how they

got them. My project at the moment is looking at marks people obtain throughout their lives, I have also been looking at healing the process of scars which is the concept behind my latex book and also the visible

marks they leave behind like memories.

30. Laura Holmes

Submissions: Handmade Books

Laura’s fascination with tactile objects, stories, and memories has led her to explore family heir-looms and question their value. She investigates the thoughts and feelings which can be evoked by specific objects. As an interdisciplinary artist she combines a range of processes and techniques to

produce one off handmade artist books, constructed from thrift type objects and recycled book pages. She hopes to celebrate their history and bring new life to these once forgotten artifacts.

Laura explores her ideas through illustration, photography, manipulating materials and creative writing, collecting these together to inform the final outcomes. She creates works which are both

functional and sculptural, each piece is truly unique.

31. Lex Clarke

Submission: A series a flip books.

Title – ‘The Journey of Movement’.

My submissions are a series of flipbooks, which contain images symbolising movement and journeys, working together with the physical self-action of looking at a flipbook. The still image changes to a

moving one, the whole collection that then becomes a story, a story that the person handling the book controls.

lex-clarke.tumblr.com

Submission: A series of A5 altered sketchbooks that have been either cut through, engraved or rastered on the laser cutter. The sketchbooks are not made by me they are bought from the library and paper

chase store.

Title: Alice’s altered sketchbooks.

Using images from my project ‘Skin - trace’ I edited them using Illustrator and engraved/rastered them onto the sketchbook. All images I am using are my photographs, which have been edited to look more bold and graphic. The images are based on a girl called ‘Alice’, I used her name in the title because you

can clearly see that the images that have been engraved onto my sketchbook is a face, and I thought people should know who’s face it is.

35. Natalie Fyfe

Submissions: DIY-OLOGY - Do it yourself Arty Science kits.

Consists of a selection of images from my Art/Science Collaboration. After spending some time at the Cell Biology Labs at St. James Hospital for my current Collabora-

tion Project I began my own science experiments at home and in my studio using ‘easy to do’ Science tests. I began to use these initial tests as a fundamental drawing tool to explore childhood memories, Logical and Emotional thought, quality of life, and the life cycle of materials using a variety of mainly

Organic Materials, which have inspired my 2d and 3d artworks. DIY-OLOGY Arty Science Kits provide people with step-by-step instructions and the materials that I used in my initial experiments, giving people the opportunity to participate and have fun with their

own science experiments at home, exploring science in a creative way.

38. Patrick Kirk Smith

39. Rachael Forster

Submission: A single concertina book made of five copper plate pages.

Each page is differently and progressively etched with the imagery of a bell, which is the object I am working with, in looking at memory through possessions and the loss that is inherent in the

passage of time from ‘event’ to ‘memory’, hence the progressive destruction of the image. There are no images of the book at present as the plates are at the stage prior to exposing the image so there is not much to look at. The book will be kept in a small bookrum backed box with a metal plaque

displaying the stamped title which, as of yet, has not been decided. There are no more books in the series, as the copper is expensive and the etching process will take up to a day to complete at the

extreme end of the etching.

40. Rachael Hewitt

Submissions: an A5 artists book made from mixed media.

The’ hands’ are made from painted handmade paper pulp. The finish product relates partly to palmistry and what is ‘written’ in the lines of our skin and what these lines suggest about health, hopes and destiny.

48. Roxanne Van Zyl

Submission: Books of sorts

Photo etched copper shim which has been folded into an origami crane which has Inserts / Booklets under the wings which messages / secrets can be written on. I will also include a hard-

back bukram covered presentation box which the crane can be taken away in.

I have been considering objects of significance and memory. How and why we collect mementos and the way in which our memory degrades over time. When we take a photograph we think we

have captured everything that moment entailed but gradually the details will fade over time.

49. Saiyme Gultekin

Submission: Postcards

Some to be sold individually and some in packs of ten.

50. Sally Lambert

Submission: Recycled Book

I have made a book using old posters I got from the poster podiums dotted around Leeds. I made the cover using an old sketchbook and the bookcloth is a fresher’s fair tote bag. The idea is that all the materi-

als have been recycled as they are all throwaway items found in Leeds.

52. Sophie Clarke

Submission: Books

Three books with three different style book spines made in the metal workshop. The im-ages are examples and a starting point of how I want my books to finally look. I plan to

japanese side stitch the pages of the book and then sew them to the book spine.

51. S-J Service

53. Sophie Gilbert

Submission: An A5 catalogue of my past works and postcards.

The catalogue has images and descriptions of pieces of my work from the last 2-3 years. Cur-rently studying on an art and design course Sophie has a multi media approach which works

with the compositional and manipulatory qualities of film and photography. Working to create visual narratives, her work spans from observations and close connections with family

members.This image has been taken from a recent examination into the stereotypes of family pho-

tography, intrigued by an essay by Kerry Daly which states that there is indeed a stereotype to the ‘family snapshot’ this work corresponds to see wether a template can be made for the

viewer to fill with their own memories.

54. Steph Bryant

Submission: A selection of small Japanese bound books

Title: ‘Explorations in the city space with uncontrolled materials’

I am interested in looking at ways in which one can make a mark, how marks and recordings can be made in interesting ways and focusing on the city as a theme.

I have looked into recording the city environment through the use of subversive processes, taking pictures through different materials and resources can alter the outcome of how we

view the environment that surrounds us, its always interesting to have another point of view. If we were to always follow the same and similar views and traits in life then the world would

be a boring place to live.

55. Zara Noble

Submission: Punk packs, including badges, mono prints, sprays and stickers.

I also have began producing some punk guides, these are zine type booklets.My work revolves around the youth subculture punk and I take traditional techniques and

imagery to produce graphic statements and slogans in the form of badges, booklets and prints. I am obsessed with hand cutting stencils using the same content and this has become

a huge part of my current and hopefully my future practice.

Is a publication produced by students studying B.A (Hons) Art and Design (Interdisciplinary) at Leeds College of Art.

It also refers to the idea of possible vector positions, the in-between or inter-disciplinary nature of the course. The range of publications and works on display are produced by students across all

three years.

These particular students study a program that encourages innovation both in making and in thinking. They have explored art and design practice through a diverse range of strategies, media and technical approaches. This remarkable interdisciplinary approach allows for an open mind to be kept about concept, media and methods. This practice-based course and the students who work to make it their own reflect the contemporary working practice of the creative industries

and explore new and exciting ways of working between the disciplines of art and design.
