For my degree show, I created a sensory play environment using sculpture, video, sound, and print. The space was designed to encourage touch, curiosity, and interaction — inviting visitors to squish, squeeze, and explore my tactile, toy-like sculptures. To introduce playful attitudes, I use soft materials like teddy fleece and recycled fillings to evoke comfort and childhood. Alongside the sculptures, the video and sound gently guided the audience into playful engagement, while prints echoed the colours and abstract forms of the sculptural pieces. Through this work, I aimed to create a space where play is not only allowed but celebrated — offering a break from Art School formalities and reconnecting us with the pleasures of being curious, silly, and hands-on.
