Somerset students launch art installation supported by SSH

The installation will be displayed during Wincanton Town Festival.

The installation involves the ten students studying a number of creative disciplines who are launching a collaborative art piece at The SEED Hub.

The collaborative installation comes with support from Somerset Works as a part of their country wide-NEET and support initiative. 

This comes with mentoring students by SEED founder and PR Guru Lynne. 

Lynne said : “The group themselves came up with the idea of a coat which could be covered in messages on the things they were passionate about”,   

“Our SEED Artist-in-Residence Tamsyn Gregory worked with them on how to turn their passions into individual artworks brought together on an oversized man’s coat bought from the local charity shop. It has been wonderful to see how their confidence has grown.”

“Words and messages are hidden all over the coat reflecting the group’s concerns for the natural world and love of animals.”

The artist, Tamsyn said :“They were all so individually talented in different ways and it has been a joy to see how they have turned their ideas into unique works of art that have come together as one collaborative piece.”

The creative has fruitfully resulted into making of a short film on the  process has been made by one of the group.

The group includents students namely, Amber Linder-White, Blue Atkins, Benjamin Belcher, Sarah Fiveash, Henrietta Gullidge, Freya Hannant-Lewis, Scarlett Hoadly, Amber Linder-White, Abigail Locke, Amala Louis, Izzy Scott.
