MA Degree Show Bath School of Art and Design 2019 (Bat Spa University)
The 2019 MA Degree catalogue featuring master's students work from Curatorial Practice, Ceramics, Fashion and Textiles, Fine Art and Visual Communication. Designed by Grazia Campanella and Simon Taylor. The identity was influenced by the new Bath Spa School of Art and Design campus at Locksbrook Road. The site was originally a Herman Miller Furniture Factory and was designed by renowned architect Nicholas Grimshaw. Herman Miller’s design philosophy can be summed up in their mission statement ‘Inspiring designs to help people do great things’. This is something that is considered in all Herman Miller product designs and developments. It is also at the centre to all of their external design collaborations. It seems apt that the building is now an art school continuing the development of making and creating. It was a pleasure to study within the action factory environment, particularly the photographic darkrooms and printing and etching workshops. Simon Taylor Visual Artist

Samantha Horn (O’Neil)
Photography is the primary way I am able to create art,
my practice is concerned with ‘truth’ and the ways in which
ideas of collective identity can fragment through the process
of ‘story telling’. In terms of material I seek content concerned
with the ‘mythologies of belonging’, such representations are
to be found within the narratives of our ‘cultural mythologies’,
traditionally illuminated by Christendom and Folklore.
I am concerned with the ‘truths’ that the ‘alchemy’ of
photography and cinematography are able to confess through
their process. The making of photography is set within a
structure of disclosure and concealment, where appearance
and being do not naturally coincide. Costume and its ‘holding’
nature is an important part of my work as it remains gestural
in its transposition towards atmospheres of temporal belief
systems.
My current work Garland, considers ideas of ‘belonging
and boundary’ and in its use of traditional European costume
explores notions about identity as being geographic and bound
to a period in time. Any genesis of ‘belonging’ is born out of
the desire to ‘hold’ something, illustrative of that which could
be discarded. My use of analogue film, costume and a camera
obscura aims to examine ways in which we seek to collectively
‘hold’ ourselves and in doing so asks “What ‘magic’ does logic
disrupt?”.
