Ged Young

Lecturer in BA (Hons) and MA in Fine Arts, covering a range of disciplines including Digital Media, Fundamentals of Studio Practice and Professional Practice, but predominately specializing in 3D modules covering a wide range of sculptural processes.

Early work in my practice focused on contemporary issues such as the nutritional crisis, through the guise of misrepresentation in advertising. Traversing the processes of painting, sculpture and photography, a questioning of reality was presented which commented on societal issues regarding consumerism and economic instability.

More recent research and work have evolved to focus on the importance of play within contemporary sculpture and the experiential aspects of the making process. Working with clay needs time and patience and this negates the fast pace of today.
