Fast and Furious’ featured a wide variety of works on paper, in plaster and clay. The artworks were produced by students of Dhaka University and Rajshahi University in a workshop conducted by the British artist in residence Stephanie Quayle. Born in 1982 on the Isle of Man, Stephanie gained a distinction in her Fine Art foundation course before moving to England and completing a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at London’s Slade School of Art in 2005. Quayle continued to hone her skills as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, completing an MA in Fine Art Sculpture in 2007. She toured Dhaka and Rajshahi as an artist in residence under a British Council programme. Her work is predominantly figurative, often contrasting dramatic and exotic creatures with quotidian objects. Quayle’s sculptures often unite the exotic and the rural, handcrafted and pristine in a witty play on tradition.
