**Window, 2015**  
By Fiona Naomi Cashell  
Lens-based digital art

1\. I made this work because . . . I kept going back to the same place in search of someone I loved. Trying to feel their essence in that place and trying to capture their presence through my eyes, and my lens. I was also very drawn to this particular beach during a cold New York January, when it is usually deserted. Somehow, that’s how I felt inside. But, there is warmth in the cold in that we do find peace through solace, and I found some of it that day on the empty expanse of West Meadow Beach, New York.

2\. I hope when people see this work they will . . . feel a sense of atmosphere and emotion. With the application of abstract elements, my hope is that you go somewhere else, beyond the horizon line, and through the imaginary window of the mind.

3\. In terms of art history, this work . . . is new. I hope. In my practice I don’t do very much visual research (I mostly read and work from automatic writing, academic research and poetry). Therefore, I can’t necessarily link it to any time in art history or any particular practice or artist.

4\. You can see my work . . . at [fionacashell.com](http://fionacashell.com/?ref=dublininquirer.com) and [vimeo.com/fionacashell](https://vimeo.com/fionacashell?ref=dublininquirer.com). Fiona Naomi Cashell (b. Dublin, Ireland, 1981) is a lens-based digital artist, currently based in New York.
