Ogre-Faced Spider Hunting Behaviour - Tara Hughes

 

I chose to theme my sequence around spiders as they are often represented as somewhat distasteful. They repel most people with their intimidatingly disproportionate bodies and legs. But the spider can be beautiful. Their webs are intricate structures that are used as skilful instruments to capture and entangle. My sequence is an expression of art and science, based on my research into contemporary and historic scientific illustrations.

Deforestation - Natasha Cole

 

For this project I started looking into orangutans and how their homes are being threatened by the mass production of palm oil.

Bats as Pollinators - Jazmin Johnson

Throughout this project, I researched bats and their importance within our ecosystem. I looked into many different conservations of Bats, and one which stood out the most to me was “Bats as Pollinators. This animated loop depicts the importance of pollination, and how “Bee’s have the day shift, Bats have the night shift”.

The Evolution of Pugs - Paige Y

This project is about the evolution of pugs, looking at why people believe they shouldn’t be bred any longer due to their breathing and bone issues.

The wild animal in your house - Teddy Hunter

I looked into domestic cats and how they have evolved to retain a lot of the characteristics and traits of their wild big cat cousins. I found out that compared to today’s domestic dogs cats haven’t changed much genetically from their ancestors. I wanted to show the two sides of the domestic cat in this zine, the wild and the tame and how they seem to coexist in our furry friends. I used both drypoint etching and ink and brush to create the two styles of illustration, joined together by dos á dos binding. There is a cat flap between the two sections to show the transition from wild predator to tame lap cat that happens with our domestic cats.
