Bloom

Bloom deals with mindfulness. Mindfulness is a form of meditation which focuses on the here and now. This piece reflects on a human’s mental journey to discover ones’ ideal self and how, through mindfulness a human can also bloom like a flower, becoming enlightened and fulfilled.

Using animation, a comparison is made between floral forms and mental health. The human circulatory system, representing human health and well-being is replaced with organic forms, concerned with the idea of mental growth and renewal.

The delicate flower is representative of the fragility of the human condition and the growth processes involved in a person’s life journey to self-fulfillment.

The piece is displayed to create a calming atmosphere, muted pastel tones and soft line illustrations are used to convey a sense of relaxation.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to ‘be.cause_’, the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2017 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Printmaking & Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Creative Multimedia, Fashion Design, Fashion, Knitwear & Textiles, and Visual Communications.

This show is the culmination of the last four years of discipline introduction, skill-building, research and experimentation which has finally led the graduates here; synthesising all they’ve learned and absorbed during their time in LSAD. 2017 has been a historic year, peppered with student shows, both on and off-campus. This year is the first graduating year of the Fashion Knit & Textiles cohort, culminating in a memorable show that featured a wonderful collaboration between students on the programme and students on the Creative Multimedia programme in LSAD Clonmel.

This type of collaboration is one of the most important things graduates will take with them. It’s not only important within the context of an art college, but remains a crucial part of the wider world context of art and design. Increasingly, the creative professions need graduates as flexible, adaptable individuals, capable of working across a variety of media and disciplines. For the last four years they’ve all been working together, and we hope that they continue to stay in touch, and continue to build interdisciplinary links as they advance into their careers.
