ARTIST STATEMENT: HEHIR & NOONAN
Noelle Noonan and Catherine Hehir are Irish artists who work both independently and collaboratively using a number of different mediums but primarily print and print installation.
Our interest lies in our cultural history and current events that shape the Irish landscape from the geographical to the political. The cultural archive is a critical element of our research; these various repositories of information are often the starting point for strong debate.
Arising from our subjective perceptions and encompassing ideas relating to the physical, the metaphysical, the political and the mundane the work coalesces into a unified response. Our work embraces many different forms, including temporary interventions, permanently sited sculptural installations and curatorial programmes.
