BA (Hons) Illustration alumni Cáit McEniff has illustrated The Hepworth Wakefield's Festive Market campaign for 2022.
Cáit is an illustrator and textile artist from Warrington, now based in Leeds. She likes to make work that’s rooted in ideas, imagination, curiosity and research. In Cáit's own words, her work is: "pretty wonky and usually analogue; (...) influenced by storytelling, folklore and being outside."
Cáit graduated from her BA (Hons) Illustration degree in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. She recounts:

Her way back to creating happened when her neighbour was giving away some Victorian coloured patio tiles. She spent the day making pictures from them with no exterior motive, no client, and loved it. She now tries to find the joy in making things, trying new mediums to keep her practice "healthy and sustainable".

When making the collages for the project, Cáit didn’t stick anything down. Instead she scanned each cutting of paper and jigsawed the collages back together again on Photoshop. This was so the animation team at Hungry Sandwich Club would be able to animate the collages.
Her best creative advice came from her Illustration tutor Matthew Hodson, who told her: “dance then stance”.
