EMMANUEL MCCARTHY
Emmanuel McCarthy
I am a varied artist and have exhibited in many genres and mediums. Many of my older works were created through traditional forms such as oil paintings, acoustic and vinyl D.J. creations. My recent creations involve screen-based media, photography, music and sound media. I like to incorporate old skills into a new working set. I also enjoy finding new ways to challenge such fixed beliefs. Art can encompass perspectives beyond conventional understanding. Sharing amongst artists has opened my eyes to different perspectives.
When creating I like to consider what relevance old ways of doing things has in a changing world. Through video storytelling, I implore new understandings of international politics, self and arts practice. The self is a complex arrangement when placed among others. As an artist I try to be true to myself and those around me. In my work I have a keen sense to get out of my comfort zone in order to grow creatively, and in turn, professionally. By sharing these stories through my practice, I hope to provide a platform for others to be honest. With a commitment to creative networks that practice mutual aid, I aim to empower communities with a stronger knowledge of emergent technologies through leadership skills and coaching. I am good with the direction of others and would like to adopt new structures of professional practice.
