Tom Groves, Head of the Art Histories Department has invited artist Corey Bartle-Sanderson to produce a series of photographic works inspired by the creative environment of the art school. Corey spent several days in the school closely observing the objects and materials in our wood and stone workshops, fine art studios, and conservation labs. In keeping with his own fascination with the juxtapositions between traditional materials and the aesthetics and values of today’s consumer culture, Bartle-Sanderson’s highly sensitive response unearths the ways in which certain histories, ideologies, agencies and affects play themselves out through the material environment of the school.
