My experimental cyanotype concrete triptych called ‘A Palestinian View of Jerusalem’ that took me over three months to complete was featured alongside other alumni artists. It was the first time that it had been in such an amazing gallery context at the Roland Levinsky Gallery. I also had my five minute film ‘Art of Failure’running alongside the piece showing the frustrations in the chemical and concrete experiments that eventually became a success. That piece showed me the importance of collaboration with other artists namely Noel Brennan who became a good friend during the process of sculpture and photochemistry.
