Artist's Statement:
Her body of work focuses on the area of print, these etchings are of an intimate nature exploring ongoing themes such as; the poetics of space, the passage of time, longing and escapism. Looking to the 19th century aesthetics for her inspiration, Donohue explores notions of spectacle, our need to collect and contain objects of desire, reminiscent of the "philosophy of having", popular at the time evident
in the Cabinets of Curiosity and The Natural History Museums. In these uncanny interiors time
has been suspended, they contain poetic possibility, a promise of escape, enticing the onlooker
who becomes enveloped by this intricate private world of the collector of things. These rooms
become abodes for day dreaming and reflection, attention is required so that miniature details
can become apparent. There is an assurance in repetition within her work and obvious love of
the detail.
