Professional Practices

 I watched a lecture by alumna Rina Brgum. I learnt that Brgum is obsessed with light and has made it the material of her work. Influenced by the geometric abstraction of Minimalism and Constructivism, she has made her works visually refined and orderly, in which light is the only changing element, and the interaction with colours blurs the material, form and space of the artwork, giving the viewer a rich sensory experience.

Although most of Begum's works use industrial materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, copper, glass, etc., they still give a sense of lightness and weightlessness, which is the result of her desire to bridge the gap between the disciplines of painting, sculpture, and architecture, etc. Begum doesn't like to give names to her works, and hopes that the audience will take away what they want from them, and go on a journey to find their own, without being limited.

How do new patterns and technologies change everyday life today? What is even more remarkable to me is that this is the first time an exhibition has...

Tulips and a variety of small brightly coloured flowers that bloom in the spring are so healed by these flowers that you can wander around the garden blowing in the wind and sitting idly. It's really cosy. Everywhere you look in the UK there are people sunbathing on the lawns, something you rarely see in China. This kind of freedom, relaxation and enjoyment is what I have been pursuing!
