Placement issues...
As part of our MA we are required to carry out a placement in an institution that aids or research or production skills. I applied for a place in the neurological research department of Beaumont Hospital or to spend time in a second level school in discussion with a group of a ‘younger generation’.

Your Dublin
“Hello! Open Me”
20 Disposable cameras were placed around Dublin in a stamped addressed envelope. The note on the envelope invited the public to use the camera to show us ‘their Dublin’ and then post these cameras back.

WE ARE GENERATION 'Z'
I predict Generation ‘Z’…will be less emotional, more sensitive, unresponsive to the ‘small things in life’, will not comprehend time as a factor in completing a task, will lose the ability to express through word, (handwritten word that is..), learning pattern will take an entirely new form, their construct of knowledge and it’s reality will be questioned,...
