Education

BA Art and DesignUniversity of Leeds
Sep 2019 - May 2023Leeds, United Kingdom
Throughout my degree I developed creative thinking and independent working. In my studio practice I have primarily made audio visual work, fabric installations, work on my photography practice. I have explored the moving body, effect-making, 'affectivity', & sensoriality. See samples of final degree show work: https://www.schoolofdesignleeds.com/degreeshow-2023/edith-young/ I have developed my theoretical knowledge in various modules; '20th Century Fashion History', 'Time & the Image in Contemporary Art', 'Design History: 1900 to the Present Day', 'Material Culture & Mass Consumption' My involvement in societies at university has been formative & enabled to develop skills: > Green Action Co-op Society: Chaired online meeting during covid, ensuring tasks were shared & undertaken. Volunteered in the co-op's low-waste (not-for-profit) shop in the student union, engaged with other students, introducing them to the co-op, its activities, and aims. > BPM society (Electronic Music & DJ Society): performed at open deck events, attended mixing workshops. Provided artwork (printed fabric installation) for decor of fundraiser club night organised by the society.
