Shauna Creighton (Roscommon, Ireland) makes digital images, installations and mixed media artworks. By using an ever-growing archive of found imagery to create autonomous artworks, Creighton tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way. Her work involves the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and she believes in the idea of photography being manifested in a tangible form.
By highlighting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, she reflects on the closely related subjects of photographic archive and memory.
The presence of symbolic catholic imagery is always prevalent in the images of the ‘Irish rural archive’. This is not so noticeable in the digital age; does this suggest the process of memory is now different? Archives that were once fixed are now unstable. In the digital age when we try to process memory the generational issue of the photograph as physical object comes to the fore.
Her work talks about the language of photography, the space where two and three dimensions blend and in doing so highlight’s the viewer’s understanding or perception of the physical world.
