WHY CHOOSE PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDY? HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR STUDENTS

SUE AUSTIN MA Contemporary Art Practice

Sue graduated from Plymouth University’s BA (Hons) Fine Art degree in 2009 with a first class degree. Determined to further her artistic skills and understanding, Sue progressed onto the MA Contemporary Art Practice programme with Plymouth University where her work continued to attract local and national attention.

A mature student who has been wheelchair-bound for much of her life, Sue’s work as a multimedia, performance and installation artist often revolves around, and indeed sometimes actively involves, her wheelchair. Sue came to the attention of the press with a controversial project during her undergraduate degree where she used a specially modified paint wheelchair to weave lines across the length and breadth of Plymouth city centre and the University campus, joining together the two sites for the 2009 Art and Design Degree Show.

Sue says she "aims to find dramatic and powerful ways to re-position disability and disability arts".

"The University has helped to introduce me to a broad range of contemporary

fine art practice and developed in me a sound understanding of the interaction between materials, processes and ideas. The intellectual and practical demands of the Fine Art degree have enabled me to develop my thought processes and research methodology and have given me the capacity to undertake critical visual and contextual analysis.

My tutors encouraged me to be ambitious and adventurous in my work and this culminated in a project that explored the mark-making possibilities of my power wheelchair. By painting wheelchair traces through the city, joining the two fine art sites for the Degree Show, we opened up a debate about what does and doesn't constitute as art.

The Disabled Students Assessment, flexible course structure and support of tutors have been invaluable. The quality of input from teaching staff gave me the passion and energy to continue onto the MA Contemporary Art Practice, which would have been unimaginable when I returned to education as a mature student."
