STUDENT ARTIST VLOG ⚱ Holly Reed (Fine Art) 💜 Loughborough Uni Degree Show 2024

Discover what it takes to put together a collection for an arts degree show as final-year Loughborough University Fine Art student Holly Reed shows us the processes involved as she prepares for the Creative Arts Degree Show 2024.
"I am a final-year Fine Art student specialising in ceramics, with a particular focus on Haptic Aesthetics. My passion for ceramics began during a study abroad year at the University of Michigan, where I fell in love with the material.
My practice is rooted in exploring tactile experiences and visual expressions through clay and other mediums. I am particularly fascinated by the intersection of texture and form. My work delves into the sensory engagement of art, inviting viewers to visually and imaginatively explore the textures and shapes of my sculptures.
As I approach the Degree Show, I am eager to present a collection of sculptures that embodies the skills and insights I have gained throughout my academic journey. My series, "Embodied Landscapes," investigates the interplay of Haptic Aesthetics and organic forms. Inspired by natural landscapes, these pieces showcase intricate textures and vibrant glazes, inviting viewers to appreciate the tactile qualities of the work. The sculptures embody a playful material expression, each piece playfully expresses the familiar forms of nature, encouraging deeper visual engagement with its textures and contours."
