Sheena Morris
Photographer based in Co. Monaghan, I believe Society has been fundamentally changed with the invention of biometrics and AI. While controversial, at the same time this is making the experience of viewing images ever more exciting. I believe in the power of photography to evoke emotions that connect times in people’s own lives to other stories and narratives. I aim to create visual contexts that enable people to explore new technologies as well as new perspectives on the experiences of others as well as themselves. I aspire to share in the explorations of other photographers who are introducing VR to contemporary practices in photography. Location and studio work anchors my practice and my learning in these situations and allow me to explore the effects on my practice of incorporating drone footage with VR environmental design.
Immersive Ruins
Over the past 12 months, I have been photographing church ruins across the North-East of Ireland, at different times of the day and throughout the different seasons. Immersive Ruins is a series of panoramic photographs that captures the church ruins at Kildemock, Co. Louth, otherwise known as “The Jumping Church.” My desire to share the experience of this particular site with the viewer has been expanded to create a virtual or VR rendition of the Jumping Church ruins and grounds.
