Micaela Dunne 

I describe my work as a poetic exploration of my inner thoughts and questionings around intimacy, vulnerability and emotional availability in a disconnected age. I explore these concerns through moving image, photography, spoken and written word performances, as well as installations, which at times include singing. I am seeking to unravel the different layers of our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Questioning, self-reflection, and writing have always been a significant part of both my life and my creative process. By including people outside of myself in my work and process, I seek to understand the ways in which they also view and question life. I feel that human connection, vulnerability, and sensitivity to the world and people around us have been lost in many aspects of our lives. Through my artwork, I want to reconnect to these innate aspects of humanity, to find deeper connections within my own relationships, and to encourage my audience to discover these moments of connectivity in their own human experience.
