Page 18 We thought it would be great to catch up with our past A Level Art students and see where they are now. The breadth and depth of these next steps is gobsmacking! Tim Wightman Elle Biggs [left] joined the BBC as a production trainee in 2018, learning the ropes of working in TV and radio. Since then she has been working as an audio producer and researcher. Her latest project is a new podcast all about climate change for the BBC World Service. Kennicott Art Students Isaac Moss [right] is now a practising artist based in Berlin. A graduate as of June 2018, Isaac studied ‘Fine Arts’ specialising in painting at the Edinburgh College of Art. In his final year, Isaac was shortlisted for the highly prestigious Woon Foundation Painting and Sculpture Prize. Isaac’s practice explores the relationship between image and language, predominantly using the mediums of painting and printmaking. George Wallis [left] graduated from the Bartlett School Architecture in 2018 with a First Class Honours. Since then he has been working in practice, first for Metropolitan Workshop and currently running projects at the research-led practice, ZCD Architects. Under the direction of the London Mayor’s Design Advocate Dinah Bornat, ZCD are leading UK experts in Child-friendly cities and influence policy nationally. George is returning to education to complete his RIBA Part II at the London School of Architecture where he will form part of the Spatial Justice Think Tank while continuing his employment part-time. Aggi O’Casey (formerly Aggi Kenig when at Kennicott - right) was in the same class as Elle, George and Isaac. She could well be a name we all become very familiar with soon. Aggi is currently finishing filming for a big budget BBC production called “Ridley Road” in which she stars. The production has been adapted by Sarah Solemani from the novel by Jo Bloom, and directed by LisaMulcahy Aggi is a 2020 graduate of the Lír Academy.
