My tableaux pose questions of the human existence alongside the sonic overload of life. I’m interested in landscape of consciousness, sanctuary, ritual; the found object verses dangers imposed by man.

The Photographic representation of Empty Places ( chapter 4 Staging Isolation: Images of Seclusion and Seperation - Frances Kearney, Gregory Crewdson and diCorcia ).
Kearney’s works are carefully and slowly choreographed, produced at a large scale (4ft x5ft) working with an Analogue 5x4 plate camera.
Kearney’s works are constructed tableaux known for including female figures seen to be empowered and often engaged in non specific activities such as work, ritual and solitude within the landscape / edge lands. The works pose questions relating to the ruin and how one copes with mans collapse of engagement with nature in a world of ever increasing speed and sonic overload.
Kearney is interested in the need for quietude and protection within the presence of nature during these current specific times of threat and danger from man.
The found object, especially that found by the shore have featured in Kearney’s work for some time; her interest lies in examining notions of nurture, enchantment and protection within nature verses fear, danger and toxic contamination of our world so precious.
