This September's cohort of Fine Art MA (Online) graduates have just completed their Final Major Projects, which you can now explore via their showcase The Unseen Thread. Working across a diverse range of mediums, The Unseen Thread brings together a large group of 22 artists from around the world, which we're delighted to introduce below.
Meet the artists and their projects
Elizabeth Casqueiro
Elizabeth Casqueiro is drawn to the quiet conversation between nature and buildings, and between these spaces and us.
Robert Collinson
"My work explores questions of belonging and memory, old pathways and roads ahead, as they are experienced through a history of loss, dispersal and a re-weaving of frayed threads."
Jane Crawshaw
Time to Care explores the extraordinariness of the natural world present in our daily lives and the quiet efforts made by individuals to protect it from harmful human activities.
Lainey Discepoli
"As a painter, I’m fascinated by the materiality of the art we make. In this collection, I explored using organic earth pigments and found natural items to create my own water-based paints."
Rob French
"I am an artist working with walking, mapping, drawing, sculpture, film and sound. My work aims to explore the ambiguity associated with any attempt to map or categorise landscape."
Tyler Galster
"Rooted in contemporary and improvisational dance, my work centres the human body as material and medium. I create participatory experiences to be lived, not just observed."
Claire Gebbett
"My practice centres the body, not separate from nature, but as material within it. My projects foreground the deep interdependency and fragile interconnectedness inherent to all living beings."
Sarah Hargreaves
"Working largely with textiles, I create narrative tapestries exploring lived experiences of: memories, dreams, imagination, sadness, trauma and loss."
Nathan Holt
"My practice explores the intersection of sound, vibration, and site-specificity to create immersive environments that engage both body and mind."
Kenny Leigh
"My artistic practice has encompassed moving image and sound phenomena and deals with how these mediums inform one another."
Dan Marable
FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE explores the exploitation of the transgender body, challenging preconceptions about transness and how a strict gender binary can be repressive and harmful.
Thomas Palmer
"As a autoethnographic illustrator/artist my final major project ‘contour’ is a body of artwork that focuses upon principally performative drawing, therapeutic practice and queer world building."
Kendra Perez-Smith
"My work explores the complexities of female expression and desire, particularly within the evolving landscape of technology."
Manuela Piame
"My artistic practice is deeply rooted in exploring the intricate relationship between what we see and feel through textures created from videos, photographs, collages, digital media, literature, and painting."
Claire Rookes
"My art practice is rooted in a phenomenological exploration of everyday surroundings, engaging with the interplay between nature and human presence through direct sensory experience."
Rachel Smith
"My practice centres around using auto-experience as story, using things that happen to me as ways of finding wider connection with others; looking for the sameness that transcends boundaries."
Daisy Steed
"Specialising in oil paints and pastels, my work explores narratives where fragmented figures explore vast and often desolate landscapes. By blending the textures of paint and pastel, I evoke a sense of surrealism through texture, playing with warped and distorted perceptions of reality."
Sarah Wainwright
"My subject matter, materials and processes are all closely linked to light, time, and the environment. There is an essential relationship between the themes addressed by my work and the act of their being made."
Helen Worgan
"My practice is grounded in the belief that creativity grows through process and relationships. As both artist and educator, I see teaching as a form of creative practice – one that nurtures trust, curiosity and shared experience."
Jane Wright
"I am a mixed media artist. More specifically, I am a lacemaker, it defines me and my work. The subtle twisting of threads to form intricate patterns soothes me."
Wayne Yu
This project, Collage Unbound, responds to the rise of digital and AI-generated imagery by reasserting the material, tactile, and culturally resonant potential of collage.
Min Zhang
This project, Dao Follows Nature: The Manifestation of Phenomena, explores how Daoist and I Ching cosmology can be translated into contemporary visual forms through rule-based textile and AI practices.
