A small fabric soft "kitten" mascot.

Lviv National Academy of the Arts has been a hub for displaced staff and students since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Volunteers have been making camouflage nets for the front line. But alongside this they have also been making small toys/mascots for the soldiers from the leftover camouflage fabric. The Ukrainian soldiers are affectionately called “Our Kittens”, their Kittens fighting for Ukraine.

This "kitten" was gifted to GSA's Archives and Collections staff as a token of thanks from colleagues in the Lviv National Academy of the Arts. GSA Archives and Collections staff mentored LNAA staff through a digitisation project in 2023, as part of the funded project "Developing and Promoting Sustainable Cultural Heritage in Disaster Contexts" which was part of GSA's ongoing twinning with Lviv National Academy of the Arts. GSA's Archives and Collections staff were told that we here at GSA are also LNAA's "kittens", fighting to protect the heritage of LNAA and Ukraine.

Plaster bust maquette of Sir John Ritchie Richmond, for the bronze sculptured bust in GSA's collection.

Small wooden stool in arts and crafts style, with cut out motif in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. At one time there were many examples in use within The Glasgow School of Art, but very few remain.

This stamp was commissioned and paid for by GSA so that any of the Mackintosh Library Lights made post 2014 that contained one or more newly crafted piece would be stamped with the L&D stamp, to indicate its whole or partial newness.

In the event:
• 27 Library lights are made wholly from original parts (and not therefore stamped)
• 11 are made from some original and some new parts (therefore stamped)
• 15 are made entirely from new parts (therefore stamped)

Wood Sprite, short film

Project Wood Sprite:

The short film Wood Sprite utilises video and stop-motion, as well as performing techniques from marionette to shadow puppetry and life-size, embodied puppets. The objects crafted for the project involve fabrication processes using wood, textiles, and paper. All processes were realised and connected through a holistic approach by the artist herself.

In the form of a tale, Wood Sprite depicts the origin journey of a wooden puppet to the forest. The sentient woods absorb this being into the night, allowing her and the puppeteer, in a mirroring game, into a realm of dissolution of all forms, matter and spirit. This film honours the union of nature and culture, and the porosity attuning human and more-than-human creatures, at a time where the stillness of the theatre stage forces us to enquire outwards – or, truly, inwards.

This work is number 15 of 32 produced for the artist's degree show collection during her 4th year of jewellery and silversmithing design at The Glasgow School of Art academic year 2018/2019. The body of work was titled 'Together Living' and was inspired by some of the intricate symbiotic relationships at work in the natural world - many of them unobserved or misunderstood. In the work, diverse materials were applied to mimic these instances of symbiosis. The consideration of tactility and light in each piece is intended to invoke a sense of curiosity that reveals more than initially meets the eye. Piece 15 is inspired by the relationship between ants and aphids - the ants offer protection to the aphids whilst the aphids produce 'honeydew' to feed the ants as a reward. The piece is comprised of handcut out silver (gold plated) and aphid shapes, encased by a protective steel frame as a reference to scientific storage of research specimens.

Digital copies of Design thesis journal and Technology journal. Artist statement: "This thesis argues that the city is ultimately and process, and not just aging artefact or relic. Conceptually, the architectural exploration is one that embraces the recognition of change through contemplation. By investigating the relationship of spaces to the mind, can a place be designed to evoke this sense of reflection?"

'Obstruct': 1 of a set of 5 ceramic pots, wheel thrown with hand-built adjustments.

Artist statement: "Hostile architecture is a phenomenon with rase rise significantly throughout urban design this century. A widely recognised example of this type of design is the 'uncomfortable bench'. Interventions of this kind are now familiar, and can even be a cause of comfort to privileged audiences, but it is important to consider their sociological effects. We have replaced human interaction, nuance and empathy with hard, physical and non-negotiable solutions. Identifying five core aspects of hostile urban design - limit, control, obstruct, impede and deter - I have developed a series of ceramic cups which each embody one of these qualities."
