Meet our Fine Art MA (Online) class of January 2026
14 January 2026
This January's cohort of MA Fine Art (Online) graduates have just completed their Final Major Projects, which we're delighted to share via the Fragmented Connections showcase. Using a diverse range of mediums, the showcase brings together the work of 8 artists from across the UK – in Wales, Scotland, London, Yorkshire and Cornwall – and internationally in Germany, Vietnam, the US and Italy.
These artists staged ambitious public-facing exhibitions and events both online and on the ground to showcase their collaborative, critically and politically engaged work across a diverse range of mediums.
Meet the artists and their projects
Dave Clarkson
Based in Sheffield, UK
'It Was A Stick ‘ explores the relationship between a cherry tree that once grew in the garden of the artist's childhood home on a council estate in Sheffield, and one family’s experience of land, class and social history across generations. Presented at Yorkshire Art Space, a sound work, installed with a living tree, investigated how memory is reconstructed - grafted together - through oral history.
Aaron Holden
Based in Devon, UK
'Chaotic Pi – The Downward Drift’ is a limited edition 7” vinyl single with original artwork for the record sleeve. A sonic exploration of isolation and grief, it was presented at a listening party. It is a project that aims to re-establish community through catharsis and music.
Saddhavati Monahan
Based in the Scottish Highlands, UK
The project 'scribbles, fragments . . . voices of connection and belonging’ takes landscape as material. Presented in The Old Icehouse on the shores of the Kyle of Sutherland estuary, and in the Highland Buddhist Centre, Inverness, it is an unfolding, responsive dialogue with place, found moments, objects and images.
Khoi Nyugen
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
'Beneath the Membrane' was presented at Ho Chi Minh City University of Fine Arts, Vietnam. A collaboration with Nguyen Viet Trinh, the project stems from the care and mutual support husband and wife give to each other, alongside the gender roles that have shaped their shared life.
Joe Salas
Based in Texas, US
'Drawing the Line: Art Beyond Fear' addresses the aggression of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against undocumented workers and American citizens. Through collaboration with South Texas College, an artist talk provided time and space for dialogue.
Giacomo Sanzani
Based in Bologna, Italy
Presented to the public in the artist’s studio in Bologna, ‘Sassi' is a practice-based research project that investigates the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities that emerge when Jewish memory is explored through a fictional narrative. Drawings, video works and an artist’s book, alongside an unfolding draft for a feature-length screenplay, provides an organising framework.
Georgina Stewart
Based in London, UK
In 'The Mythology of Blackness – Within these Walls – Home as Archive’ artworks exist within the everyday life of a home. Paintings, sculptures and domestic performances form a living archive in an ongoing and cumulative ethnographic project where Blackness is documented as it lives: unrehearsed and self-authored in a space where it is not required to respond to whiteness.
George Tregenza
Based in Cornwall, UK
'Infinity Minus One' is an installation of poems, printed works, small sculptures and video. It is a project made through love and grief in relationship.
