Students of Sally Tyrie embarked on a thought-provoking journey through time, memory and introspection, exploring the theme, In Retrospect.

Sally encouraged students to draw inspiration from diverse sources, which may include physical, psychological, scientific and poetic domains while collecting and categorising words and ideas that resonated with them.

Foreword by Sally Tyrie:
On the following pages you will discover a wonderful collection of mixed media work produced by some of the students who enrolled on my online Course called Visual Narratives. Delivered through a series of modules, this is an in-depth course which challenges students to delve deep into a subject they are interested in and to undertake a visual experimental journey.

For their submission for this exhibition, they were asked to consider the word ‘In Retrospect’. To reflect on its meaning and interpret it visually. The resulting work and accompanying statements, they have produced, demonstrates the many ways this idea can be interpreted.

I am excited for you to discover some of the wonderful, extraordinary works that students have created. From Contemplative prints exploring personal histories to reimagined objects., the images of work presented over the following pages celebrates the many considered, thoughtful and awe-inspiring works produced. Works that are personal, complex and beguiling. Importantly, they demonstrate how in-depth artistic inquiry can reveal something not only about method and meaning but also promote and allow personal discovery.

I hope you enjoy discovering what they have created and reading about the ideas behind the work as much as I have.
