Leah Mc Laughlin
Cardiff Metropolitan University, School of Art and Design
I studied Fine Art (Ceramics) at Galway-Mayo Institute of technology, Ireland (2001-2005). There I became interested in the ways material and the processes involved in the forming of artworks, created tensions with my conceptual ideas. An MA Ceramics in Cardiff School of Art and Design (2007-2008) allowed me to locate my practice within debates that focused on ‘thinking through practice’, and specifically to develop visual methods which could reveal these relationships. This grounded my current PhD project, ‘ The ways moving-images can reveal the interaction between ceramicists and their materials’ at Cardiff School of Art and Design (2008-present). I am in the process of developing findings and applying them to related areas of research as a research assistant under CARIAD (Centre for Applied Research In Inclusive Art and Design)
