Halo is an annual BA (Hons) in Art Degree show hosted by South East Technological University in partnership with Wexford Arts Centre. The exhibition presents work by nine students created individually and collectively over four years. The practices include painting, photography, sculpture, print, film, and installation. The works focus on identity, memory, transformation, and perception, examining the body as both subject and material. The artists explore how the self is constructed and evolves through fragmentation, reconstruction, and abstraction. Place and environment appear through natural and domestic settings. Materiality, light, and composition shape ideas of visibility and obscurity, reflecting variability in lived experience and connecting personal and universal themes.
"The exhibition, produced individually and collectively over the past four years, features work by Emma Daly, Clódagh Dempsey, Seán Fitzpatrick, Johanna Murphy, Matthew O'Neill, Natasha O'Neill, Jojo O'Reilly, Yvonne Power and Jan Szostek."
"The exhibition brings together a diverse range of practices including painting, photography, sculpture, print, film and installation. While varied in approach and medium, the works are unified by an engagement with themes of identity, memory, transformation and perception."
"The artists examine the body as both subject and material, alongside broader questions surrounding the construction and evolution of the self, drawing on processes of fragmentation, reconstruction and abstraction to explore how personal and collective histories shape experience."
""Attention to place and environment recur throughout this exhibition with both natural and domestic settings functioning as sites of reflection and inquiry""
