She added that exhibiting at LMH has been “a great opportunity to integrate and showcase our subject within college, and celebrate the arts as a diverse form of learning and engaging with the world.” Grace hopes that the cohort can continue to integrate the arts within LMH, and display more student artwork within college in the future.
Se Lyn Lim said her contribution was inspired by the idea of creating work that would “inhabit and activate the interior architecture of the chapel”. Se Lyn’s work combines paintings, miniature sculptures and transparent words hanging from the chapel chandeliers.
“In suspending the words ‘hear sunlight weeping’ from three of the chandeliers, I displayed these poetic fragments, inviting a relationship between language in written form, the visual language of the transparent letters and how it would interact with sunlight filtered through the stained-glass windows at different times of day,” they said.
The exhibition reflects the collaborative spirit of the second-year Fine Art cohort, with each student approaching the theme of spring in their own way. Taken out of the studio and into the Chapel, the work gives visitors a chance to see LMH’s artistic talent up close, and to experience the space as somewhere both contemplative and creative.
Contributors to this year’s exhibition are: Sky Lily Ellis, Se Lyn Lim, Grace Steinberg, Hattie Hone, Gruffydd Price and Rachel Briggs. Open to all, the exhibition will remain in the Chapel until Thursday, 21 May.
