Paper Project 2021
During a time when collaborative projects appeared impossible, L4 students worked independently towards an end goal of an installation. Students individually selected and studied an insect to replicate three times, increasing in scale, out of brown paper and corrugated card.
Each student had the opportunity to photograph their insects in whatever style they wanted, and then to contribute to a collaborative installation.
The impact of lockdown on creative environments has meant the inevitable vacancy of studio spaces. The final exhibition presents an artist's studio deserted mid-work, the artist assumed they’d be returning the following day. Due to their absence from their typical creative space, they are left to fantasize about their unfinished work, away from the restraints of reality.
“I went for a Brazilian tree Hopper, which is insane looking… we were encouraged to try things that were that were different.
“It was so nice to be back. I think everyone kind of felt the same when we all walked in, it was like we can interact with each other again, speak face to face, and what’s best is that we've been able to bounce off each other.”
Jess Ingram, L4 DfP.
