Congratulations to Hannah Morgan, recipent of the the Adrian Carruthers Award 2022/23⁠.The Adrian Carruthers Award is a partnership between Acme and the Slade, generously supported by the Adrian Carruthers Memorial Fund. This award was instigated by Adrian Carruthers’ family with the goal of providing a bridge between college and professional practice for MFA graduates from Slade School of Fine Art. The award includes a bursary, rent-free studio space and mentoring programme tailored specifically to the graduate’s practice.

Hannah was selected from a shortlist of artists by a panel including independent cultural producer and commissioner Nephertiti Oboshie Schandorf.

Hannah Morgan's work consists of sculptural installation. Her degree show presentation Animula is a series of propositions, drawing on geographic entanglement of matter and organisms, emergence and decay, of a cave site in the Moray Firth, Scotland. Text written in the back of the cave feeds the structures and forms. Navigating in-between spaces, volatile timelines, and questioning material contamination in relationship to the strata.⁠

If you are interested in studying for an undergraduate degree in fine art at the Slade, sign up for one of our Q&A open days in July. For more information see the Undergraduate Open Days website .

*Please note: the Slade building is closed for repairs from 1 July 2022.

Holly Hendry is the first speaker for The Matter Talks: Material in Focus for the London Sculpture Workshop. Watch the video on the London Sculpture Workshop Instagram. 

‘The Matter Talks’ are presented by artists/makers and focus on their material inspirations - each sharing their personal yet differing material approaches to making, offering a unique insight to artistic processes that underpin the very act of making. A new video will be released each Wednesday at 12noon and an accompanying Q&A will be released the following day.
