Overview. MA degree show, LICA 18-20 August 2023.

Seven paintings and a two-channel HD video installation exhibited at the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, August 18-20, 2023.

Iameuga 1829 was a direct response to a late eighteenth-century dress, held in Lakeland Art’s collection at Abbot Hall, which I encountered during a residency period there. The dress had no historical provenance. This exhibition mooted a possible history for the dress through a dialogue between a film and body of paintings. By addressing themes such as the fallibility of memory, the exhibition asked the viewer to consider whether a distinction can be made between what is real, artwork or fiction?
