“India (1998-2017) loved art – she drew, painted, took photographs and displayed her creative talents in many other ways. When she developed a debilitating brain tumour a month before her 18th birthday; losing her mobility, dexterity and some of her vision, India looked for new ways to express her creativity.

This print, one of a series of limited edition prints she designed and made at a traditional letterpress in her home town, features in a short film India made in the weeks before she died in December 2017. Her film is called Inside my Head and can be found on YouTube.”

“Inspired by the work of Picasso’s Blue Period.”

“I love trains. When Mum said we can’t get on the train because it’s lockdown, I’m autistic so it felt like the end of the world. I begged her to get some cardboard so I could make my own to get on. This is my Gatwick Express for Lockdown. I added sound effects on them for the door buttons, engine and announcements so they’re more real. Since then I’ve made a Southern Rail train and I’m building a Thameslink. I feel happy everyday now playing with them in my garden.”

“This drawing was inspired by the tubes and railways in London and the waiting people have to do for them.”

“I found the hubcap by the side of the road and was all ugly and oily. So I wanted to make it more colourful and not sad.”

“This was a lesson experimenting with perspective. The scene reminds me of where my Mum is originally from: Sanquhar in Dumfriesshire. It is a country mining village with old stone buildings and huge pylons in the fields beyond.”

“Mrs Obi has taught me since reception. She is very kind and caring.”

“I like to dance breakdance. My sculpture represents the sounds I hear (the funnel at the top), the movements I make (propeller at the bottom) and the colours I feel when breakdancing. The blank yellow sections represent the moves I haven’t learnt yet.”

“I made this artwork in response to the theme of Memories, Narratives and Collections. I used my first independent bus journey as a starting point for the project, remembering the excitement of traveling alone for the first time.”

“Simplicity is really important to me. It helps to calm me. With this work, there is one strong supporting line from which others are supporting each other and yet have their own sense of direction.”

“Claes Oldenburg inspired my model because of its style and how I do stuff. I had taken a small image of a match and enlarge it. This work was about scale for me. I also really enjoy making it as part of the process.”

“My mum holding a map up in our Airbnb in Italy whilst the sun lit it up.”

“I wanted to use fruits and vegetables that represented a non-European perspective. I found these items on Peckham High Street. I think they really capture the essence of the my community and the diversity of the area.”
