Nothing Day' By Tina Smale |
Tina
hopes to raise awareness in her work, and to inform people of the
issues raised by society both economically and socially today.
Her
main area of interest lies with the globalization process and the
effects of it upon us and future generations to come. This comes
across in her work.
What
are you working at the moment?
"I am not working on a project at the moment, as
I have decided to leave the area and am in the process of applying
for an MA. I feel like I would like to intensify my work on political
illustration and that an MA is the best way to go."
Do
you feel there is enough support for local artists?
"I
find that the opportunities for my particular type of work are limited
In Herefordshire. This is unfortunate, but if I want to further
my career I will have to go to a larger city. This is a pity as
it is a beautiful county and I will miss it very much."
The LAMP
exhibition is running at , Hereford until Saturday 6th April. |
