Kamala’s work is described as an experimental journey of colour. She is interested in the interactions of colour in pattern, painting and printmaking. Kamala has always been intrigued by the human mind and the complex ideas of emotion but also the physical and psychological changes we experience as individuals everyday. 

“In the last year I have found myself exploring psychology in art and using it to develop my ideas around colour. My aim is to give my audience an experience of colour through pattern and abstractions. I want my audience to appreciate colour and how we use it everyday, as a means of communication and expression.” Kamala Roberts

Degree Show

The opening night for our degree show Creative Curiosities is less than two weeks away! We’ve all been working extremely hard so far to get our work ready for the show and can’t wait to show the public and our family and friends on the private view at 6:30pm on the 10th of June. There’s a range of work from comics to installations so watch this space for sneak peaks and updates from all the illustrators.

My name is Alex and for my Final Major Project I chose to focus my efforts on making a wordless graphic novel, and the first part of an extended series of comics I have wanted to pursue for a long time. The challenge has been to try and express the narrative with no text or dialogue, and to introduce the reader to a new and exciting world with only a visual context of what is in store.
