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.

A- Way

My work investigates consuming and discarding behaviour in contemporary societies.

The material, which in an uninterrupted - and increasingly rapid - process goes from product to waste, describes who we are and the direction we are heading.

And there is no need to look too hard: it is already in front of us, in ever-increasing quantities and yet invisible. As invisible as our growth-based economic model is - so much is taken for granted.

So, I use photography as a testimony: of my time, of our search for satisfactions, the durability of these, and further, of the kind of value we are pursuing.

My work lies in the awareness of what is already there: an invitation to “stay”, with what we have in common, with processes that affect us and describe us.

The current climate urgency requires a powerful awakening to act: this awakening is the goal of my art.
