Michelle Deignan produces single and multi channel videos, film installation, photographic and text works. They interweave facts with fictions, overlap the past with the present, the local with the global.
Her work makes reference to narrative traditions and established forms of the picturesque, combining these with filmic and theatrical devices of alienation. Michelle Deignan has exhibited her work in over 50 national and international exhibitions and festivals. Michelle has also curated exhibitions, events and screenings with variablemedia.org, 'Five Years' artists project space, London and her current curatorial project 'Moody' that explores modes of art practice that engage with interpretations of deflection, friction and resistance.
