A detail from Katriona Parkinson’s award-winning installation Nest, which she created for her degree show at Norwich University College of the Arts.
Three or four years ago the small city of Norwich was punching above its weight in the arts: it was host to a number of major international arts events including EASTinternational and Contemporary Art Norwich.
