2026 Degree Show - brand design by Dan Harris

About this project:


My practice explores how the human body changes with age, while the cellular structures within us remain constant. 

Through ceramic vessel forms inspired by microscopic imagery, I investigate themes of growth and fragility using scientific research, cell staining colours and organic surface texture, to encourage closer inspection from the viewer.
