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.

Roisin O’Sullivan is a recent graduate of GMIT.
This residency is supported by Galway City Council and Galway County Council
