Mikkel Ullah, MA Creative Practice student has been instrumental in bringing about the creative team of students studying on different courses at the University to work together in creating a series of dynamic art installations, performance and film which will be showcased at the Fashion After Party. She has created approximately 70 pieces of artwork and a digital animation. She sums up this series of work as ‘Cosmic Chaos’.

Mikkel sadly suffered a life-changing stroke in 2014, whilst studying mid-way through her BA (Hons) Fine Art degree. She didn't let that hold her back and went on to graduate with a First Class Honours degree. At that time, as part of her recovery, she was encouraged to draw and paint flowers. Many of her recent art pieces include flowers she’s developed from initial sketches.
