Kevin Parker  Fine Art 1977 - 80
I was on the Fine Art painting course from 1977 to 1980 & have fond memories of my time in Corsham. The majority of the photos are scanned from old black & white polaroids so the quality isn't great & I apologise in advance to all those whose names I can't recall or any that I get wrong. It does all seem a long time ago now.

The first batch were taken at Beechfield during my first year there.

Second lot were all taken at a garden fete type event held at the back of Corsham court during my first year there.

Third group were all taken at the hostel or just outside. During my time at Corsham I lived at the hostel that was 2 Church Street, much of the time sharing a room with Hugh Hales Took.

Then two more photos taken during my second year at Corsham.

Finally a batch of photos all taken during my final year.

In the painting studios during my second year

Duncan Clarke, Myself & Steve King in front of one of my creations.

The girl behind me is Liz, the girl in front could be Heather?, both were 3rd year sculpture students?, & this is the 3rd year painting studio?, which I worked in the following year.

My final year 79-80

Chloe Tarling & me eating granny smith apples in a photo booth somewhere. Chloe was a second year painting student who shared a small corner of the 3rd year painting studio that Rosie Ritchie & myself did our best to completely take over.

Me in 3rd year painting studio about to attach large paper mache balloon based artwork to the wall.

Me again. Same mission.

Rosie Ritchie in the studio.

Bridget Gay, a 2nd year graphics student at the time. We did bump into each other some years later in Basingstoke & did keep in touch for some years after that while we both lived in London.

Outside by the side of the 3rd year painting studio?, with a rubbing of my bicycle done on the spur of the moment.

My student card of that year.

Rosie Ritchie with some of her artwork in the studio.

Sat outside the painting studio, I think, Rosie Ritchie & a girl ??, seem to wonder if I'll ever replace those old jeans.

Me in the studio with that large balloon based artwork.

Chloe in the studio.

A friend called Shelley ?surname?. 2nd or 1st year sculpture student at the time.

These days I`m living in Basingstoke ...

a recentish one of me with pet bantams

... (Amazingstoke or Boringstoke depending on your point of view) where life is good with wife Mandy, stepson Rob & pet bantams Marilyn & Raven. Any creative energies these days tend to be spent photographing the local landscape & wildlife or on various gardening projects.

With fond regards sent to all those old friends I hope are keeping well & happy. Kevin P. XXXXXX
