Drop by this weekend to see the 2019 MA show “Confluence”! Student work is on display in St James Hatcham and in the MA studios in the Lockwood building.
Nicholas Bennett, a first year BA Design student at Goldsmiths, is the winner of the #CreateCOP25 competition launched by artist management agency Art Partner. The contest invited young creatives to submit artistic proposals that engage with contemporary issues around climate change.
Nicholas’s winning entry is a waterproof formal suit for people to wear during flooded commutes:
I created this work a year ago, whilst exploring the ways people use objects to protect themselves from environmental forces. I started creating solutions for flooding with the everyday objects that surrounded me. This issue is becoming increasingly prevalent, since I’ve completed this work the news has been constantly filled with people living in floods such as recently in the UK and Venice, I used temporary waterproofs as a solution. It also fascinated me how we attempt to face climate consequences. I wanted to continue to understand the lengths people will go to, to carry on with ‘life’.
More information about the competition and the winners can be found on the Art Partner website.
