Degree Show branding

Jodie Bastow is an artist studying on the BA(Hons) Contemporary Design Crafts degree.

About my work:


'Maiden, Mother, and Crone' discusses universal ideas of beginnings, journeys, and reflective endings. These experiences reoccur and transform throughout our lives. But how do we navigate them?

This body of work asks the viewer to question: What is ending in your life? And what new beginnings is this making way for?

DISSERTATION: The Craft of Dreaming: Can we use dreams as artists in order to further understand ourselves and inform our creative practice?
