BA Fine Art work by Harriet Reeve showing a colourful abstract instillation

I am graduating from Norwich University of the Arts with a degree in BA Fine Art. My time in university has allowed me to explore these four main subjects: camouflage, makeup, identity and self-expression. I have always had an interest in makeup as it allows me to creatively express myself, as I find myself transferring this into other forms such as painting and sculpture.

I explore this through both my practice and collaborative practice. The process of starting a painting and starting a makeup look is the same: both canvases need to be primed. As a direct response to my paintings, I create sculptures that physically demonstrate self expression.
