‘Ac-commod-ific-ation’ represents the realities of the student experience of living in rented accommodation in Dublin. The continued commodification of housing, along with high costs of
living and education, has led to a housing crisis faced by countless students and young people across Ireland. ‘Ac-commod-ific-ation’ explores the physical and immaterial barriers to learning created by the housing crisis and its effects on students.

Through my research, themes around home, ownership and overdevelopment emerged, and through my work I examine and comment on the exploitative practices of landowners and their repercussions upon individual students, their intrusions into the headspace of students, and the scars on the environment and communities where
development takes place.

Ceramic forms mimic the structural forms of student living spaces, protruding from rubble and invading the space around us, while audio of student interviews provide insight into the realities of the rot ingrained into the student housing sector.
