[LAUIL602] Leeds University's The Gryphon "In the Middle" Supplement Front and Back Covers

Available at: https://issuu.com/thegryphon/docs/itm_issue_2_pdf





• Through setting up my instagram (@gleamedart) I was approached by two students at Leeds University, Stephanie and Safi, to offer my work to the student magazine. I had no idea it would be making the front and back cover of this issue!
• The Gryphon (@thegryphon) has an arts magazine supplement called "In the Middle" (@itm_thegryphon) and issue 2 focuses around disabled students, artists and creators and their experiences to open up a more inclusive conversation across student life, arts, culture and fashion.
• I feel extremely proud to represent Leeds Arts University as a mature blind student and I'm very proud to have my art work as the focal point of the magazine which was so unexpected.
It's incredibly valuable and powerful to have my abstract expressionist work framed in a context for the first time.
This has allowed networking and collaboration across the universities and I will ensure to keep a professional relationship with these instagram pages incase more work is ever asked for in future.
• I will be interviewed by one of the writers of their accompanying website, English Literature student Phoebe, very soon!
• This makes me incredibly excited for future endeavours. Where else can my work be placed and exist within? Product packaging? Canvases in exhibitions?
