Brummagem: Lost City Found
Exhibition:
What a great way to end my 1st week at BCU, an invitation from Professor Andrew Kulman, head of undergratuate studies in the school of Visual education, to the private viewing of his exhibition at the Parkside gallery. 'Brummagen: Lost City Found' is a joint exhibition of works created by Andrew and his wife Sara Kulman.
Both Andrew and Sara have spent over 20 years working and living in Birmingham, and the changes that they have observed and captured in their work demonstrates the need to sit back and take in the views that surround us. This has made me think about some discussions that we have already had about the fast space of change in China. I'm hoping to discover artists that may have recorded and captured their cities before they are lost within its residents memories.
I was drawn to this image for its simplicity and texture in the marks created, and I could relate to the patterns that I am already beginning to recognise on the streets of Birmingham.

This beautiful piece illuminated with light and its textile quality with a resemblance to weave, reminded me of how much texture we can see in our surroundings. Really inspirational, already this city and its people are bedding down their roots within my heart.

Exquisite and perfectly placed, this tiny image could have been easily missed. Paper cuts.
