Kara Seaman
Originally from Scotland, Kara Seaman graduated from the University of East London in 2002 with a BA in Graphic Fine Art. Since moving to Swansea she has participated in several community based arts projects with an emphasis on photography and printmaking. Using the urban environment as a focus for new work, observations and comparisons of difference have been made between the layout and structure of the towns and cities in South Wales and the lowlands of Scotland.

I find this contrast most interesting and have begun to photographically document the houses and buildings that appeal to me visually or culturally. I like to use texts and textiles in my work and have found that by making cyanotype prints I can mix photography with texts and textiles and the process enables me to print on to a variety of media.
Over the last year I have also been experimenting with new drawing styles and silkscreen skills to produce prints relating to childhood and memory in a way I have never worked before. This has given me a fresh outlook on my work and will continue to experiment with silkscreen in the future.
