Description
Description::

19 x 19 cm in a 43.5 x 44 cm frame This piece is from Manson's 'Fear of Forgetting' collection circa 2012. Embracing family heirlooms, Manson became the lady in blue; she put on the great grandmother's blue dress and adorned it with the delicate handmade crochet collar and family jews. This developed into a performance piece where that was shot on a box brownie in amongst the old library in her family home. The photos were developed by Manson at her studio in Wicklow and then exposed onto a silkscreen for printing onto fine art paper and then embroidered using cross-stitch that her grandmother had taught her when she was little.

Completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, in 2012. During this time Manson took part in workshops in the Netherlands, with the European League of the Institutes of the Arts and was selected to represent Ireland in the Prix Europa, Languages through Lenses video competition on multilingualism. Her short film was awarded 4th place out of fifteen shortlisted entries selected from 27 European Union Member States with her entry 'Choose Wisely'.

Manson's work is in collections such as; AXA Insurance and The Royal College of Surgeons and is housed in numerous private collections also.
