"This show is truly inspirational in terms of its conceptual art themes and many interrelated references to life and life-experience. These are maverick students who challenge the boundaries of art and education; and for this reason the show is a must-have for anyone with an interest in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, advertising, film production, fashion, the media and photography.

"We now have one of the largest and finest exhibition spaces in the Eastern Region and this exhibition is going to show it off at its best."

"The 'play' tent, is a representation of a childhood structure, the site of imaginary games and whispered secrets. Each square represents one individual personal identity and the collective object of the community at the time of making. The Calico-based piece is a celebration of individuality and diversity."

"I love using flat colour and simple lines to create my work and recently I have become interested in text and creating my own handwritten type to feature alongside my work. I feel that my constant need to people watch has helped me in creating my work. People are an endless source of inspiration to me."

"The words become your own creating thoughts and feelings, that manipulate your own personality and become larger than yourself. The words weave in and out to become a suffocating blanket of emotions and memory. My work is connected to the family, society and feminism."

"Cambridge is an excellent city in which to study art as it is culturally rich and steeped in ideas and creativity. I have been able to take advantage of the nearness of London to visit some of the world's most outstanding art galleries and these visits have helped to shape some of my best work."

"I see myself more as an artist working in the field of photography - more often relating my work to the world of painting rather than that of photography. The work I am showing at the exhibition is the body of my work that interests me most. It is a kind of appropriation/collage, built on the concept of deconstruction.

"The work involves the appropriation of tired/used imagery that we have become too accustomed to seeing in a certain way. By removing these existing photographic images from their 'familiar' context, and putting them in an entirely new context, I am leading the spectator to re-evaluate these images - now both contextually and visually re-energised."
