ISTD 2017 —
Wider than the sky
Wider than the sky
Wider Than The Sky is a project that uses the Freudian Theory of the Mind to highlight the nature of psychological truth. Following the fifth brief, The Dead Wood Archive, the project celebrates the well-known biography The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud, written by Sigmund Freud's colleague, Ernest Jones.
The project, along with my short film The Unconscious Mind, was awarded a commendation by the ISTD judges — the only one given in Ireland in almost a decade.

The publication is divided into three sections, in accordance to Freudian theory: the Super-ego, the Id and the Ego. Each section is distinct, with specific aims of introducing Freud, Jones and psychoanalysis; divulging the uncertainty around the field of psychology; and presenting Freudian theory alongside modern refutations.
A massive and sincere thank you to everyone who helped me make this project what it is, whether that be with their constructive critique, knowledge, gorgeous camera or newfound acting ability: my tutors in NCAD, Dr. Jane Milton, Lucas Garvey and Emily Treacy — as well as anyone else I annoyed during the process!
