About
Having lived and travelled throughout SE Asia and Europe for 17 years I returned to my home Country Ireland in 2019 to continue my practice in conceptual figurative sculpture. By intertwining contemporary concepts with magical figurative realism, I use common construction materials to animate ideas around human consciousness; persona and vulnerability. Gestures and articulations of the human form; this intricate dance of outward behavior and internal narrative is a source of constant inspiration for me.
Curator Review
Instrument
This resonant sculpture of a feminine figure merging with the strings, scroll and tailpiece of an ‘instrument’ is both powerful and affective. The textured surface and contrasting lines and curves, subtly exposes those human vulnerabilities whilst exhibiting a pose of strength and readiness. Artist Sallyanne Morgan has created an exquisitely reflective and balanced work that takes on the feel of an influential monument. - E.E. Jacks Co Meath Ireland
