Professor Sarah Glennie ∙ Director

NCAD WORKS 2025 provides a portal to the full breadth of work by our extraordinary graduates from across our four schools of Fine Art, Design, Education, and Visual Culture and encompasses students graduating from our broad range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and CEAD programmes.

We are extremely proud of this year’s graduating students who each in different ways demonstrate NCAD’s belief in the vital contribution that creative practice makes to our society as a force that creates space for care, reflection, innovation and new thinking—all of which are essential to a cohesive and dynamic society and economy.

NCAD’s graduates are the pipeline that drive Ireland’s creative and cultural sectors and their work will have an impact across society in years to come.

Their own lived experience of our complex world is central to our graduates’ work. As part of their journey, NCAD students have the opportunity to develop their creative practice beyond the walls of campus through long-term engagements with community partners and collaborators in a range of settings. These collaborations expand their experience and understanding of key societal issues such as housing, cultural identity and social cohesion and climate crises, and are reflected in their final projects.

The work of this generation of NCAD students not only provides critical insights into society today, but also reminds us that the possibility of transformation exists with fresh, solution-focused thinking. Their creativity reinforces the power of art and design to influence and inspire real change.

We hope you enjoy this digital experience of the work of our extraordinary graduates.

We are extremely proud of all that they have achieved, and we look forward to following their creative journeys in the future.

Rhythms

My work explores the concept of rhythm. Sometimes I am inspired by the rhythms and patterns of the outside world, like fractals in nature for example. Other times, my focus turns to the inside. It is my inner rhythms such as my culture and my memories are what move me. There is a constant underlying theme that attempts to make sense of what is around me and what is inside me, exploring the duality of being an Argentinian in Ireland.
