Group D
Perceptions and Realities
My work is an exploration of
the social influences that define us as individuals and groups,
our values, priorities and desires;
the nature of multiple perceptions of realities; how this multiplicity
effects the society and interaction both at the individual and
social levels.
Social themes that continually influence
my work:
Legacy, painted during the devastating ethnic
cleansing of Kosovo, reflects upon the tragedy of the perpetuation
of war
from generation
to generation.
Riser is a personal search into historical
and contemporary perceptions of racial stereotyping.
Theresa’s
Ecstasy is an exploration of a continuing theme in my work, a preoccupation
with individuals dwelling on the fringes
of society.
Only Ghosts: I found the discarded aged door
from which this work of mixed mediums was created in a construction
site dumpster
while
walking down a street in Dublin, Ireland. It represents my preoccupation
at the time, with my own historic identity.
