Niamh Fahy
£0.00
Niamh Fahy’s current work is concerned with 'Slow Violence'. Her practice examines tensions arising between boundaries, land ownership and the unpredictable dynamics of landscape. Her work considers both the accelerated pace of capitalist culture and the slow embodied experience of place.Intimacy and anxiety overlap through scale and perspective as divergent encounters in landscape are investigated. Constructing images that interrupt, repeat, connect and dissolve, the viewer is invited to re-imagine complex and often contradictory landscapes. Reflecting on ideas of reciprocal perception between body and place, her work evolves from somatic experiences of land through the thoughtful handling of materials and installations within a multidisciplinary print practice. Her practice is attentive to finding gaps beyond language where artworks can be used as a vehicle for empathic encounter with the other-than human.
Niamh is an Irish artist who holds a BA in Fine Art Printmaking from the Limerick School of Art and Design (2013) She completed an MA in Multidisciplinary Printmaking at the University of the West of England (2019). Niamh currently works as a Research Associate at the Centre for Print Research and is studying towards her PhD. She regularly exhibits her work internationally and has recently been awarded as a Artist in residence in KUNSTKVARTERET Lofoten, Norway, 2024.
