The RDS Visual Art Awards is an important platform for graduate artists throughout the country of Ireland. It is highly competitive, 13 art graduates are selected on their final year exhibition then to be re-exhibited at a venue (RDS Library hall 2018). The selected artist then go on to compete for a series of awards. I received the Mason Hayes and Curran / Centre Cultural Irlandais Residency Award 2018. The 2018 exhibition was curated by Irish artist Amanda Coogan
The body of work was my MFA presentation barely hardly there. The work was reconfigured to work in the windowless space of the old Library Hall at the RDS.
