UN#DONE At Out Of Nature

Extended Diploma in Art & Design Course Leader Darren Williams recently introduced one of his former students, Ava Vaughan, to current BA (Hons) Fine Art students Vivian Barraclough and Ash Roberts. A collaboration was born, sparking multiple artistic ideas centred around the ‘Out of Nature’ project at Newport House.

After many twists and turns, the trio was inspired by the challenges the materials had to offer, resulting in categorising 12 months of waste collected by a family of 6 living at Newport House.

After one pit stop at the pub and 6 days of hard work, the team have produced a response to the brief, site, material and working as part of a newly established collective. The installation created featured different percentages of sorted paper, plastic, metal and ‘other’ objects, which have then been placed into a stack of Industrial intermediate bulk containers.

“We feel that this has been an exciting and direct response to the site and location. Our work is installed in the dipping pond within a walled organic garden, creating juxtaposition between natural forms and man made waste material. Wrapping the structure in clear and black plastic was not only a new material but emphasised how we as a society manage our waste.”
