The Transart Institute has called upon Trampoline to oversee the presentation of final works developed over two years of rigorous creative investigation. We are invited to examine the outcome of their determined yet diverse trajectories. Working across film, painting, digital graphics, installation, sculpture, photography and sound; personal, social, cultural and political histories have been re-visited, re-interpreted, re-shaped and re-figured to reveal the depth of creative potential. Collectively, the body of MFA work speaks of transformation.
