Artist statement:
Aileen (b.1971, Limerick, Ireland) is a visual artist based in Limerick. She graduated in June 2015 with a (B.A.) Bachelor degree in fine art from L.S.A.D. (Limerick School of Art and Design). Aileen specialised in sculpture and combined media. Her main interests are in found objects. Aileen is interested in what happens to objects that get cast aside, as opposed to a previous era where nothing was thrown away that could not be used again in some way. She explores this through found objects and material that she has rescued from the overflow of goods in this modern world. She feels it is important to recycle these objects/ materials before they get lost forever. |
