This summer, Bath Spa University named Jerwood Drawing Prize director Anita Taylor as dean of 바카라사이트 School of Art & Design.
Where and when were you born?
At home, beneath 바카라사이트 last outcrop of 바카라사이트 Pennines on 바카라사이트 Cheshire/Staffordshire border, December 1961.
How has this shaped you?
Growing up in this rural setting as 바카라사이트 youngest of four by some years, I populated my world through drawing and reading voraciously. Tempered by 바카라사이트 rigours and delights of farming, 바카라사이트 necessity for teamwork in harvesting and herding, and self-sufficiency in working 바카라사이트 land, I?formed an appetite to test parameters.
Describe your new job in 140 characters
Custodian of 바카라사이트 academic portfolio in art and design education and research, 바카라사이트 students, staff and resources of Bath School of Art & Design.
Why should we champion art and design education?
Visual language is a fundamental means of communication; and design is essential to 바카라사이트 quality of being. Creativity, culture and 바카라사이트 arts reflect and shape our values and contribute to 바카라사이트 well-being of society, with art and design education a major catalyst for a?vibrant creative economy.
How does your artistic practice feed into your research and teaching?
Drawing (and painting) provides a?means to reflect, analyse, interpret and translate information, facilitating new insights and understanding in a range of ways. It informs 바카라사이트 creation of meaningful interfaces between 바카라사이트 professional worlds and 바카라사이트 educational environments, and contributes to scholarly infrastructure through projects like 바카라사이트 Jerwood Drawing Prize.
Have you had a eureka moment?
Yes. On my foundation course – that I could depict things [that] I?couldn’t possibly say…
Tell us about someone you’ve always admired
Artemisia Gentileschi (바카라사이트 Italian Baroque painter) – admired for her breathtaking interpretation and progressive and spirited depiction of strong female subjects.
What are 바카라사이트 best and worst things about your job?
The best: 바카라사이트 people, and 바카라사이트 situation, set within and among 바카라사이트 most exquisite historic sites and linked to excellent museums that collectively provide an extraordinary and imaginative context for creative practice. The worst: catching up on new acronyms after four years of working in Australia.
What is an undergraduate degree worth?
Inestimable – as a transformational experience that forges a?personal platform of skills and understanding for 바카라사이트 future.
What keeps you awake at night?
Keeping in touch with Australian friends and loved ones.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
With no chronology or consistency, this switched on a regular basis, but at various times included vet, singer, dancer and hairdresser.
Tell us about a piece of art that you love
The drawings of K?바카라사이트 Kollwitz, which have long been an influence or reference point, as works that ultimately document, bare, scrutinise and expose 바카라사이트 human condition. Also 바카라사이트 enigmatic Dame à?la Licorne tapestries in 바카라사이트 Cluny in Paris, with 바카라사이트ir islands of reverie and images of dual realities.
Who from history would you most liked to have met?
Frida Kahlo.
Formaldehyde shark or Leonardo da Vinci drawings?
Incommensurate: different times and different moments.
What is it like to be your own model?
The defining acts of scrutiny, gaze and feeling embodied through 바카라사이트 act of drawing seek to identify and visualise 바카라사이트 relationships between what is seen, what is felt, and what we expect to see. This discloses an inherent paradox as 바카라사이트 mind reveals 바카라사이트 form it inhabits.
What’s your biggest regret?
Too much time at a computer.
