DJCAD Degree Show 2022: Textile Design

Located in the Crawford building, the Textiles corridor warmly welcomes visitors. In front of large open windows, Alexa Gibson’s immersive sculpture Mellow in Yellow invites visitors to stand amongst her brightly designed, hanging textiles. The eight-foot-high pieces of fabric have been mono-printed in various intensities of yellow hues. Natural light cascades into the room and lands on the sheer fabric, activating the electric yellow, radiating a warmth that Van Gogh himself would be envious of. Visitors joyfully walk between the fabric as through trees outside; a moment of contentment usually found outdoors has been brought to life inside.

DJCAD DEGREE SHOW 2022 – FINE ART + ART & PHILOSOPHY

Between the 21st and the 29th of May 2022, we once again come together to celebrate the work of the graduating art students of DJCAD. Each student has created works that inspire and challenge our response to the world around us.

DJCAD DEGREE SHOW 2022 – FINE ART

For the first time in two years, DJCAD opens its doors to warmly welcome visitors in-person to their renowned and much anticipated Degree Show. An eclectic showcase of ambitious and exciting bodies of work from this year’s Fine Art graduates. What strikes me most is just how much there is to see. The work is dispersed throughout the college and adjoining Cooper Gallery, and it is easy to spend hours in each area of the building perusing through paintings or immersing yourself in an installation.
