Blue Spaces was presented as part of the National College of Art and Design Graduate Exhibition 2022, where I graduated with First Class Honours in Fine Art Painting and Visual Culture.
For this exhibition, I combined painting, poetry, photography, moving image, installation, and screen printing to explore psychogeography, memory, femininity, atmosphere, and emotional space. The work moved between personal reflection and constructed image culture, using photographs, polaroids, video, and painted surfaces to create immersive environments that felt both intimate and unsettling.
The exhibition centred around ideas of movement, transformation, and the emotional relationship between identity and place. Through recurring imagery, layered processes, and reflective writing, I became interested in how memory and atmosphere can exist visually through colour, gesture, repetition, and spatial arrangement.
The moving image work Blue Light combined poetry, performance, photography, and screen printing documentation, creating a looping visual space that explored shifting emotions, consciousness, and the desire for relocation and reinvention. The rhythm of editing mirrored my painting process, allowing image, text, sound, and movement to exist together within the installation.
