Past Present.

Welcome to our shows from 2020-2023.

This is a showcase of work by students in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University, who graduated from 2020 to 2022.

It's all of us, together, in a digital show you curate for yourself - not pre-arranged into rooms, courses or disciplines. You do the arranging. Want to see all the red things we made? Or all the work about identity, nature or isolation? Look at what you want to, when you want to, whether it's all the illustration, all the writing, all the movies or performance. You get the idea.

This exhibition is yours for the making. Go explore.

Tabitha Wall

Illustration - BA (Hons)

Hello, I’m Tabitha and I am an illustrator passionate about sparking awareness through my work, which covers a broad range of sustainable and environmental themes.

I’m really excited about re-connecting people to their environments in an accessible way and often base my projects on new themes being discussed in the world of conservation, for example through my project 'Rewilding'. I love using texture, colour and expressive marks, often incorporating them into my work through collage.

I enjoy adapting my process according to the topic in hand, for example in my speculative poster series for Stop Ecocide, where I used a 3D approach to bring the message to the viewer in an exciting and memorable way. This project was also exhibited as part of the Sustainability Art Prize and won the ‘Animal Compassion’ prize.

Over the summer I worked with the Global Sustainability Institute on their annual magazine, producing images to accompany their articles and stories. I really enjoyed collaborating in a team and in the future I would love to work in a team producing work and supporting campaigns for charities and NGOs.

The Sustainability Posters series 'What story will you tell your children" has been longlisted for the AOI World Illustration Awards 2021.
