Degree Proposal '08

For my degree, i will be focussing on the urban landscape. I am particularly interested in line and wires found in structure, construction, industry etc... I will be looking at building sites, construction and demolition. I will be focussing my drawing on cranes, powerlines, transport and telegraph poles. Havin seen teh japanese anime Serial Experiments Lain, i want to emphasise the beauty of line in the urban landscape. I will be working with watercolours and oils and want my pieces to look dark, mysterious and atmospheric with a grainy effect. I am only starting out now and have been sourcing artists and woking on colour, drawings and compositions for paintings. My main influences have been from the italian artist; bernard sicilano, and irish artists Cara Thorpe and Erin de Burca. Cara Thorpe's work can be viewed by clicking HERE. And Erin de Burca currently has a great exhibition in the Bad Art Gallery, Francis Street. You can view her work HERE.

Digital Media - NCAD

My first blogpage! Currently in a digital media module in college. Today we learned how to create signatures, blog webpages, add links etc... Last week we created Flickr accounts, made multiplicity portraits and went to Howth Harbour on a daytrip to take photos. We went out on a roadtrip in Roisin's car! Great day had by all, and took hundreds of photos..
