A LAMPETER artist has turned her own car into a sculpture. Margaret Sharrow said she has given up her car for art's sake — turning it into a sculpture to be exhibited at Lampeter's Town Hall Café-Deli this month.

Shrouded car (bird) will be part of an exhibition entitled Shrouded Forms, which also runs at Lampeter Town Hall Café-Deli until April 30.

Margaret said: "I began studying alternative ways of making photographs at Aberystwyth University, with my tutor Christopher Webster. He really opened my mind to completely different ways of taking and making images, and provided a very supportive environment for experimentation."

While still an undergraduate Margaret showed work at the School of Art's Imaging the Bible exhibition in 2008.

Since graduating in 2009 she has also had a solo show at the Erwood Station Gallery, contributed to Michael Landy's Art Bin, and plans to continue expanding her artistic career. She said: "I'm entering work from the Shrouded Forms series in shows in Wales and London. I'm also planning a large collaborative project involving travel."

"l still have more work planned following on from that trip — I've started Gwasg Oriel Press to publish books of my photography. And I'll be taking Shrouded car (bird) on tour — look out for me photographing it at locations around Wales."
