This year's selection process was organised by artist and NCAS trustee, Andrew Eden. From a shortlist of five, the final decision was that Fine Art graduate Helen Ireland was the clear winner for her work Evocations. Her delicate, moulded, paper objects in a bespoke perspex case and her two associated cyanotypes of everyday items explored links to personal memories of the past. She was subsequently presented with her prize of £500 by Andrew. Congratulations, not only to Helen, but to all the students whose work was presented in this year's degree show, and thank you to the committed NUA staff who conducted us helpfully around the show.
