Mowlds works in a variety of materials to create jarring, bodily sculptures that initiate critical dialogue about the destructive effects of living within pre-determined, often patriarchal, constructs.Captivated by the susceptibility of consciousness, Sadhbh responds to the absurdity of human beliefs, perceptions and behaviours by questioning what it truly means to be self-aware in an abrasive, modern society.Recent residencies include the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, STARworks (NC, USA) and WheatonArts (NJ, USA). Mowlds has participated in numerous international exhibitions, regularly showing throughout Europe and the USA. Her work is included in the permanent collections of Kunstsammlungen der Coburg, Germany and the Museum of American Glass, NJ, USA.Follow Ultraviolet Art Talks on Instagram @_ultravioletarttalks_For more information, follow Sadhbh Mowlds on Instagram @sadhbh.mowlds Hosted on Acast.

Ultraviolet Art Talks Season 15 EP3 Aaron Smyth
On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to interdisciplinary artist Aaron Smyth in 2023.Aaron Alexander Smyth, is an Irish interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates identity and its formation. His work explores how our experience is visually coded within systems of power and how these codings, in turn, shape us, reflecting on the contradictions and truths cradled between our realities and fictions.His work draws from art historical, cinematic, and archival imagery, weaving these elements together and contrasting them with a dynamic range of materials.This fusion constructs a world suspended between the real and the subconscious, a reflection on our contradictions and truths, a silhouette of the present and mutual truth that is timeless.Smyth holds a BA (Hons) with distinction in Fine Art from the National College of Art and Design (Ireland) and has recently been awarded an MFA with distinction from the Glasgow School of Art (United Kingdom).Exhibited extensively nationally and internationally with works held in public and private collections, he has been awarded Artist-in-Residence positions alongside GUM Collective in The National Gallery of Ireland, The Royal Hibernian Academy and Black Church Printmakers.
