Dublin School of Creative Arts | Freshly Picked Poetry

This year’s exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year’s Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

Freshly Picked Poetry

Poetry may seem daunting for parents to introduce to their children, as sometimes parents themselves may not understand or be able to grasp the meaning behind the poetry. The book shows that poems are open to interpretation and adults and children will create their own unique idea of what the poem means and what imagery it creates. All of the imagery within the book, including the cover, was created with a scanner and using fresh flowers and foliage.
