Artist Statement

Michelle Gannon is a multidisciplinary artist, who also formally trained as a biologist and is based in the West Coast of Ireland. 

Recent projects include sculpting solid and sonic material to create work that converts the everyday mundane into art objects, looking for the poetic in diverse media such as soap, tissue paper, and public transport. 

Current work focuses on Gaelic folklore surrounding ‘An Cailleach’, and how this mythological figure is translated in the contemporary world.
