Zoe Hamill A Map Without Words A Map Without Word
s is an investigative approach into the land where the artist is from and where she is now, in an attempt to understand the subtle differences that have led to a “lacking” in Hamill’s new surroundings. A lot of the background research used towards the approach of this work is related to the “gentleman scientist” naturalist in the 19th Century, along with the Victorian obsession of measuring and classifying the world around them (and photography as part of that ‘scientific truth’). zoehamill.com Cian Burke Rectangular Universe Burke is drawn to the sculptural qualities of objects that, when removed from their context by the camera’s framing, allow to elicit surprise from the familiar. In this way, the project utilises photography to reflect the process of seeing, of cognition and also of curiosity. The images depict an array of simple structures and objects, some happened upon, others constructed. Burke sees this as a playful approach to archaeology or a small anthropological investigation, gathering empirical evidence through contemporary detritus. cianburke.com Jamin Keogh A Constant Parameter This body of work is created around an exploration of the phenomenon of horizons, with notions of human-perception and subjectivity. It approaches the subject matter in a joint process of research based enquiry and site responsive physical engagements. The study presents its findings, which oscillate freely between visual and written mediums, in conjunction with contributions and analysis from specialists working in academic fields that are directly related to this study’s contents and goals.

It was prescribed to women who were deemed to be of nervous disposition or hysterical, involving them on prolonged bed rest. The lasting effect can be seen in the mistreatment and mistrust of women by physicians today. The project uses found photographs and archival material, weaving a narrative between the past and present, connecting the artist’s practice with that of the historical legacy of medical mistreatment. roisinwhite.com 34
