24/7-Vessels was developed for the online project 24/7 with the National Sculpture Factory in Cork during lockdown in 202. It was developed so that artists could have a platform for showing their ideas and work throughout the pandemic. Written and recorded as a video dialogue to accompany a slideshow of images, it is presented here in its written form.

Here, I have created a visual mind map to explore the thought process that went into the creation of Vessels (painting work), 2020. Included are source materials and other possible outcomes.

This work was developed out of explorations of post-romanticism and looks at notions of the post-representational. Ideas about what post-representational art might look like or be are in flux, with arguments for non-object-based socially integrated arts practices abounding; all these ideas inform my choices.
