I am astonished by the calibre of the work produced by the 2020 RCA Graduates, particularly considering the circumstances in which they have had to work. Selecting the work for this collection, Materiality, Sense and Sensibility, was, in itself, a challenge.
Congratulations to the 2020 RCA Graduates.
