On this episode, Caren Sullivan talk to the duo Austin Hearne and Glenn McQuaid from Satin Shadow in 2021.Satin Shadow is a Goth, Industrial music duo by artist Austin Hearne and filmmaker and producer Glenn McQuaid.Concerns around the occupation of Ireland by the Roman Catholic Church are at the heart of Austin Hearne's practice.The majesty and misery of this institution are the poles which Hearne operates within.Photography is at the root of his practice, using this medium in its most experimental and expansive form to create performances, installations, films, music and mise-en-scéne. Playing with fact and fiction Hearne creates worlds, characters and scenarios to satirise, demonise and embellish.Alongside all this he brings in the stuff of the painting and decorating industry to make wallpapered interiors decorated with painted photographic objects and furniture.Austin Hearne is supported by the Arts Council Bursary Award 2020,2021, 2022.Recent projects include Requiem for Raymo (solo) at the RHA Gallery (which included a weekly performance as part of the installation.), (Nov 22 to Jan 23). His film Whispers was shown as part of the Gaze Film Festival where it won Best Irish Short (2022).Glenn McQuaid is an Irish film director. He is known for his feature film debut I Sell The Dead and his involvement in the audio play anthology series Tales From Beyond the Pale, both of which were produced by frequent collaborator Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix. He has also directed a segment of anthology horror film V/H/S.McQuaid began his career at Glass Eye Pix, where he performed visual effects on films such as The Roost (2005) and The Last Winter(2006).
