Nesta Maylam

BA in Art and Psychology

The focus of my practice involves the various methods of screen printing on fabric materials or more specifically, the experimentation of layering fine line drawings over bold shapes of colour to enhance certain aspects of the image. My work engages with themes of still life and memory by looking at images from places I have visited, specific objects, and the connection between the personal memories these things hold. I’ve recently started introducing repetition to my work to explore the idea of patterns and how this effects the visual aspect of the piece.
