Niamh Mairead Cullen Dunphy is an interdisciplinary artist from Birmingham, and a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. In 2022, she was awarded an artist residency at the School of Innovation based in the Highlands, and she recently completed a duo show of multimedia works titled Passing Place.
Influenced by mystical and philosophical perspectives, she uses art making to explore the breadth of the human experience, aiming to honour both its beauty and its brutality. The work currently on show refers to ideas of death and rebirth, expressing our endless potential to be transformed by suffering. The figures are a part of an ongoing series made by casting sex dolls, creating sunken forms that embody the somatic experiences associated with trauma.
