Cam Goddard, Dan Preston, Donna McKno, Emelia Archer, Jan Benjamin, Page Cowell, Perry Chong, Safa Baharvand, Satur Chong, Zhao Tianyun.
Curated by Sangkavy Ketharalingam
My name is Sangkavy Ketharalingam. I am currently studying Fine Art and History of Art at the University of Leeds. I'm an artist that makes art for herself. I see my art almost as a visual diary or a visual reflection to help me understand the world better, which I depict through using a range of 2D materials. I love placing the small thing in my artwork, like the stack of rings that you wear on your finger or your bedroom but connecting them to larger contexts of our society. I believe placing things in the small, helps us not lose ourselves within the large contents of society and theories. Placing the subject in people or communities instead of theories and ideas.
