Louise Shine produces work that is both playful and performative. She is concerned with the paradigms of simulation and reality present within Consumer Culture. Her work accumulates in various forms including Printmaking, photography, video performance and installation. She produces a kind of satirical commentary about the notion of conditioning in consumerism. Her work is not the action of a dogmatic anti-consumer. It is instead an immersion in this very framework set up as a means to control. Her work is a reaction against her own social conformity.
Her current practice explores immortality through photography, cyanotype and found object/image
The method of art simulating, referencing and subverting that which is already simulated, creates a more conversant hypothesis towards the referentiality of consumption.
Louise, now based in Co. Roscommon has been involved in art and education in the midlands for the past three years.
