I am a visual artist using photography and sculpture. My work explores the status of the photograph in the digital age, using analogue and digital technologies.

Please take a look at my Portfolio pages. My most recent work is usually on Instagram @melissamahonart.

My recent body of work I am a pixel person uses a series of heavily pixelated self portraits used for a series of floor and wall based sculptures.

I also make staged tableaux, specifically to photograph, where the photograph becomes the finished work.

Because I enjoy the hands-on unpredictable nature of analogue photography, I work with black and white film, and make cyanotypes and anthotypes.

I recently completed a PhD which considered an appropriate contemporary definition for the photograph. My work has been shown at exhibition internationally and in the UK and Ireland, I have done residencies, frequently lead cyanotype workshops and have completed a public commission at Leeds train station.

I am Irish, with a background in science and the arts. My home and studio are in Bath. I am a creative mentor with BSU and member of the M-A-S-E-R research group.
