Little between Life and Work: Niki de Saint-Phalle and Tracey Emin A study of the relationship between art and the function of the literary diary

This dissertation examines the history of the diary as a literary genre and how it can be related to art, particularly in the work of Niki de Saint Phalle and Tracey Emin. The diary has served throughout the last four centuries as a both a public document (written by prominent men in high society). It documents a social era as much as the life of the author. It is also as a personal, intimate journal in which the author displaces secret emotions and thoughts to the page. This dissertation argues that the art of these women can be viewed as a form of diary, both in the public and private sense. It focuses on the manner in which the artists use their artwork to tease out difficult issues or emotions in their lives as the author uses the private diary, and on the use of diary-like passages of text in their work.

Work, Rest or Play? How function is manifested in Irish Botanic Gardens

This dissertation is a study of the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, the aims behind its foundation and how these aims were reflected in its layout and buildings. All of this is studied in the context of three other Irish Botanic Gardens, the Trinity College Botanic Gardens, Belfast Botanic Gardens and the Botanic Gardens of the Royal Cork Institution. The purpose behind the foundation of each of the four gardens is determined. Then the layout of each of the gardens is examined in relation to their determined function and trends in landscape design of their period. The author examines whether the trends of public improvement that lay behind the establishment of many art galleries in the nineteenth century were also a reason for setting up botanic gardens. The issues of public access and Sunday openings are examined and with each of the Botanic Gardens the design of their glasshouses is analysed.

The second section looks at Collins’ exploration of the central role of the camera in 21st century society, while the final chapter sets a criteria for Collins’ success with this work. Incl. DVD of clips from work.
