Roisin O Sullivan My Disposition

Nature and Culture are two entities that appear continuously intertwined in O’Sullivan’s work. By examining and distorting images from both, painted and drilled marks appear on the surfaces. This investigative curiosity reflects the natural and man-made influences between humans and the world around us.

Roisin O’Sullivan is a recent graduate of GMIT.

This residency is supported by Galway City Council and Galway County Council
