Degree Show...

In June I finally graduated from The National College of Art and Design, It was tough but I enjoyed my time there and would like to thank all the tutors of their help and time over the years!

My work is based on a personal reflection, it describes a journey of self-discovery, through identity and location. The work is sited around the three places which I am connected to; London, Kerry, and Dublin. 

Initial research began with photographing the relevant areas of concern, this helped in the exploration of ideas as did using Photoshop as an editing tool and as a means of creating new images.

Transfer printing created a base for the finished pieces and allowed for the introduction of paint, and experimenting with both opaque and transparent glazes.

Colour is especially important in my work, as it is in contrast to the seriousness of the black and white imagery from the photography. The pop of colour comes from paint and glazes used. These conflicting elements show the different sides of my personality.
