A framed image 32” x 28” from my MFA body of work ’ Assemble’ was acquired by the University of Ulster’s Art Collection in 2016. This image was loaned to the Gallery of Photography, Dublin as part of the exhibition “Reframing the Border” displayed from May to September 2018.
Dear Brian
We are delighted to have acquired your work for the Ulster University collection. It represents a striking example of the transition of documentary into fine art and deals with great subtlety the sensitive issues of politics, identity and history in the Northern Irish context.
Congratulations and best wishes.
