Masters in Fine Art

Eva Byrne

‘No Reason to Fear Anything’

The feelings of pleasure or displeasure we experience in our clothes are a
constant source of inspiration for Eva. She has a particular interest in fashion’s
role in the life of the outsider. Eva’s prints are a playful exploration of what
sociologist Lisa Ruggerone refers to as, ‘the feeling of being dressed. Her practice
is deeply rooted in drawing, which serves as a natural means for Eva to process
ideas and feelings. Storytelling is an important aspect of the work. This is
expressed through the process of screen print, which allows for multiple layered
images, and echoes the multiple layers of a character’s story. Eva’s work is a
response to the lived experiences of different outsider characters with whom she
has a personal affinity, and with whom fashion plays a vital role in their sense of
identity.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to ‘FLUX’, the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2018 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Photography Film Video, Print Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Fashion Design, Fashion Knit & Textiles and Graphic Design Communication.

The journey of a graduate of Limerick School of Art and Design is a deep experience of the self and ideas. An immersive collective engagement where individuality and creativity are celebrated. The strength of Art School is that all students in their multiplicity and experiences can join this collective journey of exploration across the various fine art and design disciplines. The graduate show is a wonderful moment for presentation of this journey and celebration.

The importance of having this safe space of discovery is as important to the recent school leaver as to the mature student who has found the means and the moment to return to study and pursue a dream that has been harboured for many years.

For LSAD students, Limerick city and its growing cultural confidence becomes part of this engagement. This year we welcome the beginning of a new creative industry here in Limerick, with the opening of Troy Studios, the largest film studios in Ireland. We hear of the many LSAD graduates who have been immersed in the first ongoing production ‘Nightflyers’ and the vast array of creative skills and inputs that are required and the possibilities that are opening up in the region. Many of our graduates will seek new challenges elsewhere, however we also hope that many stay or return to this region so that their enterprise and creativity will further impact and enrich our environment.
