Mise en Scene

Her piece primarily deals with the ideas of curation as a form of translation. It questions the imbuement of trustworthiness that we expect from a collection that has undergone the process of selection and curation. Beginning with the cabinet of curiosity, the notion spans the historical and archaelogical realm to the art world.

The title of the piece, meaning the setting of the scene, communicates the process of collection and display within the work that is used to describe contemporary Irish life through artifacts proving our existence, but translated in a way removed of sentimentality and context.
