Paper is always a starting point for my work. I’m drawn to the seemingly simplistic & unassuming nature of it. And yet, through manipulation & experimentation, it has the potential to become something much more complex. I try to find a balance between both. Curiosity around the seemingly limitless potential of paper drives my experimentation, while at the same time maintaining a sense of ‘playfulness’.
About me:
Gráinne Nagle is a multidisciplinary artist who likes to work across a variety of mediums, but her primary area of focus is collage and exploring the creative potential within it.
Having studied fine art & graphic design respectively, both disciplines have become profoundly informative to her work. She has exhibited both in Ireland and abroad, and her work can be found within private & public collections. She currently lives and works in Co. Cork, Ireland.
