Meet our members: Ciara Donnelly

Ciara Donnelly’s interest lies in the identity of a landscape. By asking a series of question all relating

to our perceptions of landscape and the influence of digital media, she trys to find possible solutions

through her work. When the image of a landscape has been altered through the medium of digital

photography, does this in turn give a new identity to the landscape? Can this digital medium allow the

artist to create a unique landscapes separate to what is seen through the camera lense? By exaggerating

the ability to create unique and manipulated perspectives of a landscape through digital photography,

she hopes to raise questions as to how much this digital medium can effect and manipulate

our opinions and perspectives on the digital images that we are immersed in on a daily basis. Does

this landscape then gain a misplaced identity as it has been identified through a digital medium which

has altered and manipulated its own characteristics?

Ciara is entering her final year of BA Honors Degree Fine Art at DIT Grangegorman and is an active

member of Qualia Dublin. She was also involved in a summer internship at Black Church Print Studios

in Temple Bar.
