Faolan Bashford
I am Faolán Bashford. After a time working as a model maker I returned to studying sculpture, I am currently in 3rd year at NCAD.
I am interested in how we relate to our surroundings and creating spaces that alter how people react and maybe in some way improve on it. I am concentrating in the media of sound, photography and object making. There is a part of me which realises that art must be relevant in order to make it succeed. In this way I would like to remove it from its confines. |

Hazel Dixon
My work predominantly resides in mediums such as photography in portraiture and how people react to the camera and sound.
My practice covers exploration of identity I have looked at the identity of an individual in relation to society. I tend to focus on arbitrary aspects and mindsets of everyday life and illuminate and highlight them.
I make work that can be appreciated by the masses. I feel that in my work I respond to the immediate environment I find myself in at the time. Therefore, I am influenced by reality-based situations and social contexts.
An area of interest to me would consist of visually recording everyday life, the objects that surround me, the people I come into contact with, the buildings I see, life as it is passing by. |

Colette Fahy
I am currently studying Fine Art Media in NCAD, along with a joint degree in art theory. This interest in film and media theory can often be seen in my practice, whch typically takes the form of short video pieces, or interactive web-based artworks.
Themes explored through my work to date have included; domesticity and the everyday, systems of documentation and the mass media. Along with more traditional means of research some of my strategies for the production of ideas have included re-mixing found footage, and recording interviews with persons of interest.
Curently, I am focused on exploring issues around televisual representations of personality, gender and social groups. |

Iain Griffin
Currently my practice as a Fine Artist, of the Sculpture department in NCAD, explores forms of process and participation. Continually developing are forms in which the audience is actively engaged with the work and the space. This may take the form of using the physical to encourage emotional and mental responses. Such as in the Sound Installation - Scream, in which vibrating speakers playing a sound collage of commands and screams placed under the audience seats force an engagement.
Alternatively, my current exhibits of Silent Movies, in which the audience must play a keyboard in response to silent emotions projected on screen, active audience participation within the stage of the work may be required of forced. Although I am called a sculptor by definition, there is a cross fertilisation of medias such as video, installation, sound, painting, physical sculpture and live art that manifests in my work.
Recently, I have been working collaboratively with Frank Wasser, painting graduate, developing our practices of written and spoken word.

Sandra Hartwieg
I am a third year Sculpture student at NCAD. My work manifests itself in many different mediums and forms and I have explored a number of areas of interest in my time in college so far.
Recently, I have explored ideas relating to language and text. The lack of an attribute which helps us to understand a language or read text can lead to exclusion as it is intrinsic to everyday life. Coming from my own experience of being Irish with a German father, I cannot fully understand the language and communicate properly with my own relatives.
In the past couple of weeks I have explored this in a general way mostly through text and relating it directly to the body, casting, projections and an interactive installation. I have explored the meanings of words, learning methods and old proverbs and phrases.

Raine Hozier Byrne
I am a third year fine art student at IADT. My work makes use of the fragment, in which I incorporate elements of collage, assemblage, found and appropriated images.
Working with this very dynamic medium of expression allows me to gather fragments of representation of society, that by definition reflects, questions and comments on that society. I was a finalist in the RDS student arts awards,where my work was selected to go on tour to The Alley Arts & Conference Centre, Strabane and Damar House, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary.
In 2009 my work was shown in the Barely Legal exhibition at the Mill Street Gallery,and I am currently working towards a group show in May 2010 and a solo show in August 2010. |

Marrit Koopmans
Marrit Koopmans is an Erasmus student on the NCAD. Based in the Netherlands, she is a 3rd year student at kunstacademie Minerva.
She believes when she is not present in her work, the art work feels like it has not been switched on. The main focus of her work is working with failure and the charming circumstances that can result. Through most of her work she is trying to find/realise solutions for the failure in her daily life. |

Anna Mulvihill
I am in my third year studying Visual Arts Practices in IADT and live and work in Dublin. I am currently focusing on the self in art with emphasis on the interaction between the artist and their environment through their choice of subject and medium. My own practice is mainly 2D based with a strong interest in drawing, but I also explore projection and installation. My work has been exhibited in Mill Street Studios and D Light Studios. |

Paul Walsh
I am a fulltime student, in third year, seeking a BA Hons in Visual Arts Practice in IADT.
My artwork has been primarily technical and research studies including making altered copies (mostly self portraits) and replicas of the old masters. My media has been primarily oil on canvas although I have also explored sculpture with particular emphasis on kinetic energy and interaction.
Recently I have been stepping outside of my comfort zone to explore the conceptual implications of illusions in how art is perceived and how our human senses are limited by our human abilities. I planning on exploring this phenomenon further in this community art project along with broadening my experience through alternative media and collaborate with interesting people. |

Marie-Jehanne MacMahon
I am a 3rd year, mature student in Visual Arts at IADT.
My practice investigates identity and culture within different contexts. Currently I’m interested in exploring the visual identity in a social context.
In my work I seek to uncover what is hidden or unconscious to reexamine our environment and how we relate to it. My choice of medium evolves out of process of the project. |
