Began her photography career as an archiver at the Irish Independent. Influence of Diana Arbon. First work was a series of twins. The idea of motif, something continuous in her work. Looked at classical art forms, Durer's Christlike portrait causing controversy. She thereafter began taking photographs of women with facial hair - quiet a taboo aesthetic. She put an article requesting models with a humorous approach. A wanted ad turned into a feature on the paper. 40 models and used 12. Using anovijet she printed poster sized print.
After a short career in commercial photography she underwent an MA. She wanted to escape the commercial world although she learned a lot from it. She was interested in the family unit as a construction. Photo therapy for Patricia. Her parents would have bent over backwards for her. She would create a scenario and then she would change it s little to suit.
Doors shutting in and out. Relation to family in some real or realistic form.
Organising photograph's of her family from her grandparents using the knowledge of their dress.
Gertrude Stein. Photographs constructed to the poetry. Semi camouflage. ...hiding identity.
7 year's. Sibling experience. As a family the parents impose an identity on their children. . Not matter what you do in your adult life you return to the family into those roles. Family album provides a rich version of the families life. Subconscious often leaks onto the photograph. Snaps follow culture. To prevent the usual. Fake family album depicting the sisters as all the roles. Hidden gestures.
Romanticism of young girls dressing up in their mothers clothing..the fantasy of the future.
Film. The boundaries of photography and the lack. Moving photographs as opposed to film footage. Drab surroundings and the typical animosity.
Body language and the physical and natural state. A moment in time rather than a place. 'FRONT' Idea of motherhood.
Between four and six years old...a child has a flawed understanding of the particular objects and forms.
