Interim

Leeds College of art design presents past students new work; where are they now and presenting their progression through their new work. Including our very own Tom Cookson from Fine Art.
'All of the artists taking part completed their foundation course at Leeds College of Art & Design and have been selected following visits to a wide range of degree shows by staff teaching on the fine art area of the course. The exhibition celebrates relationships formed whilst studying on the foundation course and reconnects artists, now based in other cities, with each other, with Leeds and with the College. Interim is an annual exhibition open to all current second year BA Fine Art students at British art schools who have previously completed their foundation course at Leeds College of Art & Design.'It was really interesting to see the selection of year two artwork from students on too a Fine Art course. I was really intrigued by both Tom Cooksons and Adam Townsend’s & Arran Sands art. It was really nice to see Toms work set in this context along with other students from all very different institutes and was amazed at the complexity and too history of context behind his work. I too really enjoyed the collaboration of Townend and Sands work. There work reflected some interesting factors, and too how there structural piece communicates to the audience, as there piece was situated in the middle of the spiralling stars it both offered communication from two different visual points. I think also I was engaged as there is a direct link to the environment and space which are subject matters that I really like to engage with however I don’t always practice this within my own art practice.
