Tara Carroll
Tara Carroll visual artist based in Ireland. Her work is often rooted in the theocratic history, memory and myth of Ireland. Her work explores fetish as a concept which underpins religion, mythology and sexuality. It is often through the lens of fetishism that we can understand devotion to objects and rituals. Her practice is multidisciplinary and uses extensive research to develop pieces that span performance, textile, installation, video and print.
'Heal me Brígid' Brigid, Goddess and Saint, evokes fertility and healing. Tara's video work uses performance as a site of ritual to explore her internal ambiguity of womanhood and her body's primary function of fertility. The performative ritual is a catalyst to accept healing from Brigid.
