The requirements for completion of a BA degree in Art from Linfield College are

1) A well-developed body of work and an artist statement, to be shown in Renshaw Gallery at the end of the year

2) A written thesis, essentially an expanded artist statement, which may include biographical material about the artist or other influential factors

I have included some photographs from my installation at Renshaw Gallery last May, as well as an online version of the thesis paper. The entire project spanned seven months, and the time was filled by both elation and frustration. The artistic drive to create can be an all-consuming force, and is one which has continuously challenged me to take the next step with my own personal development.

For those of you who do not speak French, the title of the paper, "Paroles," means "words" in English.
