Neo-Politik

I  recently styled a Photoshoot for CULT Magazine feat actress Eva Jane Gaffney. The concept consisted of a young Joseph Stalin transcending the space time continuum and meeting Margaret Thatcher in 1979. This Joseph Stalin is untouched by his future legacy and at this point remains idealistic. He is 23. Their ensuing political discord and widely divergent philosophies inflame a passion that consumes them. Margaret is more mature, Joseph is far younger but her intellectual equal.The social and economic backdrop is austere the music is Kraftwerk.

Between The Lines

I was at an exhibition of work by the Limerick School of Art and Design Degree year Visual Communications students in South Studios Dublin on thursday. It was a one night only show to run adjascent to and was part of the the launch of Offset Weekend. The show was entitled Between The Lines

"Between the Lines is an interpretation of truth, exploring thirty-six diverse ‘truths’, from old wives tales and statistics, to psychic numbing and conspiracy theories. The title of the exhibition is a reference to both the concept behind the exhibition and the point of transition between student designer and practicing professional."

The Exhibition was a very successfull showcase of some excellent work by the fourth years in a really nice space. Congratulations and kudos to them all on their hard work.

"There are no facts, only interpretations" Friedrich Nietzsche

Hyponotic Spectacle

"This body of work has been investigating the media's portrayal of current affairs and politics and its creation of a surreal spectacle. The power dynamic between the viewer and the media has been one of passivity. Lulled by the continual bombardment of the invented reality created by the media, through the hypnotic spectacle generated by the colours and flickering lights on screen, it mesmerises the viewer as the newsreader presents the stories of the day. “

Showdown-in Neo-Tokyo

Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Degree in Fashion Design, Graduate Collection: Mark Dempsey

This collection is based on the 1988 anime movie named Akira. Akira is a neo-apocalyptic 'Manga' movie that is set in the future gangland's of Neo-Tokyo. This collection mimics the complexity of the relationship between the two main characters in the movie through the use of dynamic pattern making and complex intersecting seaming. With the use of vivid colour to highlight the intense and explosive moments in the story, I have created a high end street savvy collection using Japanese pattern making methods in conjunction with elements worked on the stand.
