The Park: A Second Home by MA Illustration student Xinlei 'Dubbie' Liu () is an exploration of how nature in Ruskin Park supports children’s emotional and mental well-being.

"Through observing how children connect with natural elements, I create print-based artworks capturing these moments of healing and joy," Dubbie explains.

The final outcome is a series of prints evoking the warmth and comfort of childhood memories.

Made by Xuya Wu () from MA Fine Art: Drawing, 'Un-Rotted Bloom' is an experiment with materials, drawing attention to the changes and impacts that man-made objects have on nature.

"The glass petals tempered in thousand-degree fires, writhe into form under human manipulation," explains Xuya with vivid description.

"They stand silently as sculptures, examining their creator and fulfilling the cult of aesthetics that has been imposed by humanity’s coerced idolatry of beauty."

Highlights from the Painted Garments event 📸

Last month, many gathered for a day of talks, discussion and creative exchange at the crossroads of art, fashion and material culture.

Painted Garments aims at exploring the creative intersections between painting, textiles and dress, bringing together artists, designers and academics whose work exists between image, fabric and the body.
