I focused mainly on the idea of the artefacts having names and the area the hunt museum is placed. An old map that is an artefact in the Hunt Museum helped me refine my ideas to just the shapes of the aerial view of places in Limerick. I focused in on the shapes of the old 'irish town' in limerick and the old 'english town' in limerick. I wanted to rename the paintings athe placenames in Irish as an idea of taking back our language and our true origins.]]> 2021-03-07 15:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278753842 The map artefact that helped me with my research for this project. I used this a constant reference point for shapes for my paintings. k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278761943 2021-03-07 15:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278761943 The fact that all the artefacts had a name also sparked off my idea for place names etc. I began my work by taking shapes and colours from the artefacts and my work then slowly progressed to taking shapes from areas in Limerick. k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278839569 2021-03-07 16:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278839569 Sketchbook work. k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278843893 A few pieces I took from my sketchbook and lay out as a grid. These again are based off aerial views etc taken from the hunt museum map. ]]> 2021-03-07 16:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278843893 k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278856428 2021-03-07 16:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1278856428 Experimental work k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1281986309 I played around with blurring the images by using wax paper. I took Irish words from an Irish sign in the hunt museum to bring the idea of language to a literal sense. I used colours from the area and wanted a light application of paint. I placed a light behind the paper to make it more transparent - thought it looked more historic.  I didn’t love the outcome but trial and error.]]> 2021-03-08 13:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1281986309 Earlier piece. k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1281996360 This is one of my earlier works based off of again the shapes and landscape of the map. You can see the segregation between the Irish and English town. I liked this piece but I wanted more varied application of paint and mediums. I took the ideas of sshapes and colour through this experimental piece.  ]]> 2021-03-08 13:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1281996360 Sketchbook k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282000812 Looking at shapes of the actual hunt museum and researching.  The arches and squares of the hunt museum windows actually inspired some of the abstract shapes seen in the paintings. ]]> 2021-03-08 13:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282000812 Sketchbook k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282012035 More research with some Irish literature based on the study of our language.]]> 2021-03-08 13:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282012035 Looking into the Irish place names k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282030040 2021-03-08 13:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282030040 k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282045276 2021-03-08 13:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282045276 Irish sign in hunt museum k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282315396 2021-03-08 14:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282315396 Playing around with the idea of language as the Irish words from the sign in the hunt attempt to shine through the wax. k00250857 https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282323863 2021-03-08 14:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/k00250857/oygvmhw3nuv8a4df/wish/1282323863 A finished piece based on the shapes of the Irish and English town in limerick.
