Melissa Mahon PhD Using medium of photography, my art examines the codes, messages, (semiotics and ontology) of contemporary photography. With PhD and MFA higher degree, BSADFM, BSU, exhibitions in UK, (RA Summer Exhibition '21), Ireland (RHA, '22) and Brazil, I work with early process photography, analogue photography and digital photography to find definition, examining construct of photograph in art practice.
