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

Nicola Turner
In my art practice I am investigating mortality, vitality,
eroticism, mass and fusion. I am exploring the interconnection
of life and death, human and non-human, attraction and
repulsion. I combine found objects that hold traces of memory,
materials from organic ‘dead’ matter (e.g. horsehair) and the
shapes of human form. I am exploring the interconnection
of humans to objects and each other and the awareness of
death, as a way of affirming life forces, amidst confusion and
the unsettled. I have found resonance in the concept of the
abject, which I see as being about the capacity of the world
to disorient and connect to primal instinct. My research has
led me to experience an abattoir, a cadaver course and a
personal ritual burial. What interests me is the dissolution of
boundaries and looking at the in-betweeness of things. I draw
reference from the writings of Jane Bennett, Judith Butler,
Donna Harraway, Julia Kristeva and Slavoj Žižek and research
exploring how humans are ecosystems that exchange and
overlap with other ecosystems, not bounded by skin or death.
