‘Miniature vistas’. 2018
Artists’ book
42 x 15 cms
hand stitched
As part of the one year residency at Mottifont, Eileen has made the River Test the focus of her work. Her objective is less about portraying a literal representation, but rather an attempt to convey feelings surrounding ephemerality and time evoked by the landscape. The book form is used as a repository/container.
‘Miniature Vistas’ explores alternative photographic techniques such as pinhole and photogram’s. The cameras used to create the images are made from household containers. and each image processed by hand; as a consequence each print with all its attendant imperfections and mistakes is unique. Combining this with an investigation into alternative forms of mark-making, the actions of the water, wind and her own body, Eileen has created a language that is both meditative as well as being a manifestation of experience.
