A huge thank you everyone who both assisted and attended the exhibition. To Gillian, Cillian, Clodagh, Finola and all the staff of Prosper Fingal, without your support this project could not have been possible. To our amazing students who we will miss so dearly, thank you for welcoming us with such enthusiasm and for making every Friday such an invaluable and enjoyable experience. We cannot praise you enough for creating such pure and beautiful work, we can only hope that you are as proud of your art as we are and continue to enjoy and value what you create.
To encourage students to express themselves visually and to learn to value creative output by introducing practices that the students would not other wise have the opportunity to experience.
Our second workshop with Prosper Fingal in Swords was plaster casting and mold making.
Creativity and learning disabilities, how art can intersect to encourage self expression and self confidence.
Our first workshop with our 11 students in Prosper Fingal Swords was on monoprinting.
I am currently exhibiting in Tate Liverpool for the UK Biennial. It only cost £3 for the space and all the materials are from the Tate shop. I will send back the keys for the closing on the 25th. Thanks Tate.

After a 10week studio occupation of the former primary school on John’s Lane with notice collective I made a sound piece to accompany the viewer on an old church pew set with the view of the windows of John’s Lane.

PLAYGROUND showcases a 10 week occupation of a former primary school on John’s Lane by NOTICE COLLECTIVE on the 17th of September. The collective was formed over the summer as a knowledge and skill share group for potentially expanding on studio practice through play and group discussions.
Considering the pressure of academic term studio practice and its influence the summer studio allowed for testing of self motivation, self esteem and peer-to-peer critique. Allowing for playground freedom, fun and falls.
