Visiting Artists: Heather Forknell and
Robert Hardaker
On Wednesday 29th January 2014
we had a visiting artist come to the university Heather Forknell and Robert
Hardaker. The both graduated in 2012 with a Fine Art Degree. The both were part
of a Leicester organisation The Attic,
which has since disbanded, it had studio space and the entire artist
collaborated together to create art but soon they wanted to work solo. They
have recently moved to the 2Queens studio where they are given intern opportunities.
They find prospecting and getting thei work into the world by finding events on
websites.

Heather is a photographer working with
large prints, has looked between the environment and the inhabitants, and the invisibility
of the city. She can create a narrative and uses quotations in her work. She
did education training at Derby University; it improved her teaching skills but
decided to focus on her artwork and became a freelance photographer.
