Current Photo Art 3rd year Stephen Duffy has been awarded £1000 by the Reginald Salisbury Award to complete his project exploring the wealth and status of the Catholic Church:
This work takes a critical view of the wealth and cultural status of the Catholic Church within Ireland. During the 18th Century, while the country was stricken with poverty, the Catholic Church was investing enormous sums of money into constructing altars, in order to use them as stages to evangelize and to propagate.The money will allow Stephen to continue the project and potentially broaden its scope to include the rest of Europe.
About this year's prize:
The panel selecting this year's Awards had a difficult task and were impressed by the scope and ambition of all the projects submitted for consideration. The panel consisted of Helen Sear and Paul Cabuts. The panel would like to thank Daniel Shires, Graduate Intern, for his help during the selection process.
