Artistic Canvas - by Maxine Calleja

After months of research, I’m proud to present the final exhibition of my dissertation project.

Throughout this journey my goal was to make sense of the invisible threads that connect generations. This work is a personal and multidisciplinary exploration of memory, lineage, and identity going into how our pasts, both lived and inherited, shape who we are.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, especially my supervisor, as well as my family and friends.

I would like to dedicate this work to the memory of my late loved ones. Though I never had the privilege of meeting you, this project gave me the opportunity to feel connected to you, and in many ways, to get to know you. I promise to do my best to make you proud and to keep your memory alive.🤍

Air dry clay sculptures incorporating wire

These works were inspired by the concept of how sometimes we might feel limited to the constraints we make for ourselves.

Insipired by the ever-changing fluidity of nature. This series explores the dynamics between nature and materiality through printing and stitching, highlighting the presence and absense of nature.🌿
