“Rebecca Wymark takes her inspiration from her immediate environment, utilising materials and casting spaces encountered in the home and the studio. She makes delicate prints from domestic fabrics and creates handmade paper sculptures by casting domestic furniture.
“An exceptionally dedicated student, Rebecca has applied herself to progressing conceptual and practical skills to develop her distinctive independent practice.”
She added: “Jodie Cowler deals with issues of religion, belief and mortality in contemporary society with her installation of seven brightly coloured paintings, which she refers to as ‘a deserted room of worship’.
“The paintings feature two characters, a raptor and a skeleton, who encounter one another in a narrative that develops throughout the paintings. The paintings are designed to represent stained-glass windows and each painting represents a day, playing on the story of creation.”
