Frances Mezzetti
I am a full time visual artist living and working in Dublin, and a graduate from the National College of Art & Design. Over the last twenty seven years I have continued my visual art and movement practice in performance art, site specific installations, film and vocal soundings. Mine is a socially engaged practice creating works around individuals’ lived experiences. Ritual storytelling combined with a love of moving in nature is an ongoing research and practice. Working in collaboration with diverse artists and communities continues to have an expansive impact on my approach to artistic expression with exciting outcomes.
Beth Greenhalgh
Her works often take the form of spontaneous experiments with body, movement, sound, and installation. The work is site-responsive, delving into place, ritual, history, and folklore. Inner landscapes and intuitive explorations merge with physical places. Conscious and unconscious thoughts become patterns for vibrant investigation and play. Nothing is ever definite, but everything here happens with reason. Transformed material unfolds a scene inhabiting body and environment.
Tess Wood
Multidisciplinary artist, Tess Wood, is currently immersed in research focusing on the production and delivery of live art within an installation setting. Their research has led to developing ways in which language exists within the performance art context, unpicking the complexities of dyslexic ways of speaking and writing with help from AI transcription tools. Wood is currently undergoing an R&D grant with Arts Council Wales, developing group performance works with collective SCORE and working within archives and library services at Cardiff Metropolitan University.
