Jojo Hynes

Hi, my name is Jojo Hynes and I'm from Creevaghbawn outside Tuam.

I work as a Visual, Digital and Collaborative Artist.

I use film, sound, VR and Fine art to create my art pieces.

My artworks often explore the themes of local/place, myths and legends.

I've lived in Melbourne and London and studied Art at University.

I have collaborated with many different artists, young artists, schools and groups.

I love learning new skills and creating art.

My two websites are http://www.jojocollab.com and https://www.jojohynes.com/

I look forward to sharing this VR and AR adventure with your class.

The photo of me is taken in my projection room at my exhibition and was taken by DECLAN COLOHAN who works as a professional photographer.

Jennifer Cunningham

Hi, My name is Jennifer Cunningham and I live in Tuam, Co Galway.

I use paint, etch plates, make models, shoot and edit sound and film to create my artwork. I’ve studied art at University and have had many exhibitions over the years. I was recently asked to design the poster for the Galway International Arts Festival.

My artworks explore the theme of nostaglia and I often use my own memories as a starting point, looking at how a child's imagination is a place of freedom and play and a safe place to explore the world around them.

My website is www.jennifercunningham.ie.

I enjoy collaboration and I've worked with many different artists, schools and groups. I love creating new art. I am very excited about this AR and VR adventure with your class.
