Aisling McConville

Aisling McConville is an emerging artist who gained first-class honours in the MA Art + Research Collaboration (ARC) programme, IADT, Dublin. Her practice is predominately sculpture based – hewing mnemonic forms as a way of preserving her generational labour of the land. Aisling grew up during the troubles and almost two decades ago, she left the North and spent many years living in Indonesia and Peru. In 2018, Aisling returned to Ireland where ruminations of place and time prompted her research into cultural memory and collective narrative. Her sculptural works traverse striated geographical formations and their imagined ability to sequester memory. Aisling has recently exhibited at Sculpture in Context 2023 and in the Two Steps Twice group exhibition at The Lab Gallery, Dublin 2023.
