As mentioned previously, I know very little about art but I really love this exhibition and it is clear that there are some incredibly talented students out there.Sophie Westwater

This piece particularly caught my eye. It is inspired by African and tribal art and by a student called Aimee Lawrence. She describes her work as focusing on African and westernised 'mask' culture using recycled industrial materials.The below pieces are inspired by the Butterfly Effect of Chaos Theory

It is impossible to capture on camera the way the light is reflected through this piece by Jasmine Al-Aidi. It is made of glass and shimmers light and color.Ekaterina Borisova Dyakovo's piece on the impact of illustrating, branding and print media on modern life should ring particularly true to bloggers!
Upstairs in the foyer are branding pieces of art for different ad campaigns. Being a bit of a Disney addict I especially loved the two for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

Some of the pieces had strong social messages. Reza Davoudian designed this anti-bullying campaign, Karl Swithenbank wanted to celebrate conservation work in Africa and Emily Stephens drew attention to the prevalence of HIV that exists within the UK.Others got into the student spirit, designing briefs for alcoholic drinks (Barcardi Breezers that appeal to men) and London Fashion Week.

This final piece I found particularly moving. The artist Heidi Kemp suffers from a hoarding disorder and as her project photographed every item in her room and catalogued them in this book. She invited people to remove a photograph from the book. In doing so she was able to discard all of the items she had hoarded over the years. I chose this photograph to take.
