Sally O’Dowd

Sally O’Dowd is a visual artist with a socially engaged practice focusing on drawing and performance.

Her artwork also focuses on authenticity in documentation by way of performance, film and drawing. She creates often absurd, socially awkward performance, in which costumes and props amount to an abject beauty.

Borowa’s work was also recently featured in the film ‘Monument’ by award-winning Polish director Jagoda Szelc. Dorota is a co-founder of the Borowe Sisters Group.

Stephen Dunne

The process of making, where each thing leads to the next through an experimental and intuitive approach is at the core of this work.

Dunne is a graduate of the M.A in Fine Art painting at the Royal College of Art and of NCAD and his recent exhibitions include “As Above, So Below: Portals, Visions, Spirits & Mystics” & “Wilder Beings Command” at the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
