Deirdre O’Mahony has been creating work across sculpture, painting, installation, and participatory projects for 30 years. With an interest in the politics of landscape, rural/urban relationships, farming and food security, O’Mahony has investigated the political ecology of rural places through public engagement, exhibitions, critical writing, and cultural production. From establishing community spaces amongst a charged local conflict, to creating large-scale paintings by tracing the shadows of boulders on the limestone pavement in Burren National Park (Ireland), O’Mahony deftly considers the role of art in bringing together diverse communities and alternate forms of knowledge, embracing art as a critical space to help us see things differently.
