TheNineMA, Final Show, Open College of the Arts, Bank Street Sheffield

We started off nearly four years ago as a group of about 20, and now 9 remain, in England, Canada and Ireland. We worked through teething problems in a new course, grappled with the whims of technology, and kept on turning up at our computers for Skype and Google sessions around work and family commitments. We’ve got to know each other and our work well and now are preparing to graduate. We’ve met up before, once or twice, but this is this first time we have all exhibited together. We have all the usual challenges of setting up an MA show, and we are organising remotely.
