Portfolio Course 2008



I recently finished teaching an intensive two-week portfolio course with nine second level art college hopefuls. It was a really enjoyable two weeks. It was good to work with students who are enthusiastic and have creative minds. Some samples of the students work created during the course can be seen here.

Viewing Art - Anya Gallaccio in Kinsale


Simple ideas make perceptive art and astute design. Anya Gallaccio transforms Charles Fort in Kinsale by bringing harmonious visual contrast to the historic site using coloured glass. The uncomplicated windows capture changing sunlight and cast alluring shafts of luminous light throughout the wartime site.

Listening to words

"When the gentleness between you hardens and you fall out of belonging with each other, may the depths that you have reached hold you still."
