Laura Carroll; Fine Art: Paint

Statement

Looking at decoration and femininity has always been a prevalent theme throughout my work, working with a variety of mixed mediums and materials. My work ranges from drawing and collage to photography (both medium format double exposures and digital work), which I try to bring together through installation based pieces.

Catherine Buck, Fine Art: Ceramics

 

Statement

 

Fascinated by mundane objects, I take inspiration from items such as disposable packaging. I collect and re-examine these redundant objects with the aspiration to extend their life span in some way. Through processes of plaster and clay humble objects are reincarnated from an ephemeral life, to one of longevity. Playfully using repetition and reformation to allow these new forms to occupy a different sense of space and give them a sense of permanence.

"We are as much a part of the natural environment as it is part of us, one cannot be separated from the other. Nature continuously changes and should we ever stop to appreciate it, what is it that we would see? Our existence is temporary, created from a series of successive moments none of which have any permanence. However could another existence be possible, one which we have yet to experience?"

"My work is an exploration of a childhood memory of my ancestors' recollection of the moving bog, which is now defined by the dominance of European bureaucrats vying or the Seat of Power. Will they ever have enough now that they have barred us?" Irene Quinn
