The final year project works of a Glenville Fine Art graduate and a textile artist from Tallow, Co Waterford, will feature amongst the work of over 100 emerging artists, designers and creatives from MTU Crawford College of Art & Design (CCAD), at a week-long public exhibition in Cork opening this Thursday.
The annual undergraduate CCAD exhibitions will open today, Thursday, 4th June at the MTU Bishopstown campus, and on Friday, 5th June, at the MTU Sharman Crawford Street campus. Glenville’s Charlotte Shiels will feature her work and her thesis, titled ‘Elements of Disharmony: A Retrospective of The Brony Community’, highlights ‘the oddities of the Internet’, where female characters depicted in girls’ media are sexualised.
‘My practice lends itself to the oddities of the Internet – from the strange compulsion to appear as coquettish and as doll-like as possible, to obscure fan-groups who savour their affections for ponies and doe-eyed anime girls,’ Charlotte says of her work.
