Tara McGinn

 

Tara McGinn (b.1993) pursues an interdisciplinary practice combining sculptural (re)production, image-based assemblage and wanderings into writing, developing studio processes and research that connects, contrasts, and translates subjects of trauma, memory, identity, and space. Responding intuitively to media and embracing the malleability of forms, she interrogates the language of practical and digital materials, exploiting storytelling as a layering device, transforming the meaning of objects, interiors, and their surfaces as sites for cultural practices and political narratives to interact as playful and intimate fictions. She is a current artist on the Freeland Artist Programme in London and is supported but the Arts Council of Ireland.

Tara is in residence at Can Serrat during the months of January and February 2024.
