Niamh McCann makes materially intricate and seductive works across a range of media, expressing a sense of precarious optimism and a desire to locate communal tenderness and connection within division. Drawn to the storied nature of objects and places, her practice is grounded in an Ireland-based perspective, engaged within broader contexts, McCann works in search of shared rootedness, founded in a personal specificity. Her practice operates as a process of narrative excavation and poetic reconstruction; layering dense information, imagery, thought and feeling within forms of physical and situational lyricism.
