THE LIBRARY PROJECT
I was more comfortable doing this brief because a video was required which I’m used to creating. The project went well as I had an innovative idea so all I needed was to plan it out properly to make an effective smooth hyperlapse. Luckily I knew the locations to find the backgrounds I needed for the video which saved time as I didn't have to look for all of them. It was going well until all the photos I took were corrupted which meant I had to make a last minute video to submit. I do backup up my work but the lesson I learnt from this was to backup my work after every major change which is more often than I used to. From my feedback mid-brief I was told my idea wasn’t clear enough so I needed to simplify or make it more obvious so the point of the video could get across easier. Once I had made the new video I realised that my explanation skills were lacking, as the video clearly explained what I want to portray but I wasn't able to describe what I wanted which is something I need to work on.

My Favorite Childhood Book – The Library Project
My Favorite Childhood Book While this isn’t my true childhood favorite, it sure feels like my childhood in a book. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times and how many Baby Sitters-Club books I read in my young years. I still have them all actually, they’re double stacked on a shelf behind me, I can’t imagine ever getting rid of them. These girls were my friends for several years and I…

SARAH O’SULLIVAN
Ideas of material identity were a heavy influence for
O’Sullivan’s works. ‘I Luv You 24/7’ is constructed from hand
sewn teddy bears or inside outs which are a signature to her
work. The teddy bear is adorned with 605 love heart sweets
varying in shades of pinks and peaches and pale greens. The
sweets read messages such as ‘I Surrender’, ‘Forever Yours,’ ‘I
Love Harry’ and ‘Love me’.
The piece borders on obsessive and portrays this irrational
need to give and receive love, it demands your attention.
Strewn on the floor below are the broken and empty
carcasses of teddy bears that have been sucked of life and
drained of color, they are the ones left behind. The piece ‘For him…’
is inspired by a media identity. Another handmade
inside out is seen covered in words clipped from pre teen
magazines. ‘For him...’ explores what pre teens are exposed to
in magazines. The piece, named ‘For Him…’ as many of
the magazines are targeted towards dating, male friendships
and idolizing male pop stars.

In week four the workshop was based around creative
problem solving using recycled house hold materials.
The children were given tasks, which allowed them to construct innovative ways to, for example ‘ disguise their vegetables at the dinner table’ or ‘ invent a survival kit.’
The children were also asked to experiment and given tasks to record in their visual diaries. One task being to record what they had for dinner, who with and the colour of their plate. This task amongst other observations was an inspiration for O’Sullivans work titled ‘Kentucky Fried
Children.’ Another inside out which was hand sewn and
printed with the children’s names inserted in various
media branding and hand a embroidered picnic blanket.
‘Ask Fm’ was a piece made by O’Sullivan in response to
interviews with pre teen girls on the infamous Ask Fm social
networking website and an interview conducted between
O’Sullivan and controversial photographer Richard Kern. The
Ask Fm website has received negative media attention for
their lack of assertiveness with regards to online bullying.
‘Seen, Not Heard!’ a ten-week collaborative project with Ms. Kavanagh’s 6th class students at St Martin De Porres and Textile Artists Sarah O'Sullivan and Orlagh O'Neill.
O'Sullivan and O'Neill wanted to create a discourse with the children in order to explore the complexities of youth in a visual way. The work pushes the boundaries of textile art and remains honest, playful,humorous and at times shocking, questioning and interrogating the way in which children are growing up in Dublin, this exhibition sheds light on many issues from the perspective of a child and 'for those working with children and the primary education sector this exhibition is surely not to be missed !!' Both Artists graduated from NCAD with first class honors and this will be there first joint show in 2014.
