My Name is Roni Rea Dean, and I am a Fine art student at UCS, currently in the second year of my degree. Alongside my passion for art I also have a passion for boxing, Competing as a female amateur boxer, and coaching for Attleborough Boxing Club. Having two great passions has led me to combine the two, putting my boxing into my art. 'We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.' -Oscar Wilde

Sam Taylor-Wood - Three Minute Round
This piece by Sam Taylor-Wood is called '3 Minute Round. It is two projections side by side of two different videos that she made of each of the Klitschko brothers (two professional boxers) after they had each had a fight. She videoed them in the changing room, on their own, sitting on a bench/chair. She captured something which is very personal, and something which people watching the fight on the tele or at the venue will never get to witness. When I first came across this piece of work I thought a lot about how much of a come down it must be for professional boxers after the fight, win or loose they still go from a buzzing arena with so many people around them to a quiet changing room. I wanted to try this out, to video a ammeter boxer after they had a bout and so thats what I did, this is where my inspiration for 'the come down of loosing' came from. There is so much emotion at all times at a boxing show, from coaches to supporters, but especially the boxers, and that is what i wanted top really capture in my video, that sadness and how totally gutted Milo Clay was after he lost in the National championships.
