A chance to catch up with the goings on of some of our tenants and members...
Jane Murdock – Recently graduated on the 29th of September 2023 with an MA Fine Art from University for the Creative Arts.
Jane’s studies have changed her art from that of being textile based (she graduated in December 2021 with a BA Hons Textiles) to that of primarily, soft pastels within a broader interdisciplinary practice. The MA also enabled a much deeper investigation into concepts and dialogue around the human-fungal interspecies relationships which is ongoing within her practice and which she is considering taking forward into PhD study.
