Hold the line - Srón Mór: Sociolingustics
My practice is about language and its uses.
For my 2018/2019 masters project, in social practice and the creative environment In limerick school of art and design.
I will be investigating and building my project around language and its uses, communication and miscommunication, I hope to build the transcended space of physical speech, dialogue without words.
I aim to interview people throughout the west coast of Ireland, gathering stories, with the aim of gaining an insight in to contemporary dialogue in all its guises throughout urban and rural areas.
Expanding my practice with an investigation of language development in modern ireland.
the importance of my project is its truth seeking. it is gathering and asking questions of why?
It is considering aspects of culture and identity.
