Reverberating from the foundations, the future is buried underground, but it’s too loud up here to hear it
2025
NCAD Sculpture & Expanded Practice Degree Show

Materials: Transparent acrylic, top-soil, concrete, rebar, foam-core, cork, plasticard, LED strip lights.

Dimensions: 105x160cm Reverberating from the foundations, the future is buried underground, but it’s too loud up here to hear it is an artwork which aims to explore how infrastructure can serve not merely as a passive backdrop within our lives, but as a collective project, in hopes of reclaiming the ability to (re)imagine it as a public amenity. 


Through the speculative potential of model making and using the visual language and connotations of miniatures, intricate scenes are constructed to reimagine alternative realities and interrogate unfulfilled plans and promises of the past. 


The choice of materials evokes an architectural proposal, while also summoning a subterranean environment. Above ground, hostile “public” spaces are recreated, while below the surface a rendition of the Dublin Metrolink serves as a permanent fantasy and unfulfilled promise. Going deeper are surreal scenes of cultural resistance to encroaching privatisation, and nods to histories of the labour which built the foundation on which we live.
