Caoimhe Kilfeather

Caoimhe Kilfeather works across sculpture, photography and installation, developing projects through a dialogue between intuitive studio experimentation and research into architecture, ritual, memory and landscape. She is drawn to vernacular structures—their material histories, cultural practices and psychological imprint of place—which shape both the formal language and atmosphere of her work. Photography often acts as an anchor within her installations, guiding the reading of sculptural objects and situating them within specific or imagined contexts. Her exhibitions frequently take the form of constructed environments that evoke experiences of the familiar and the speculative, bringing together crafted and found elements that blur the line between artefact and artifice. Working with materials including glass, bronze, iron, plaster, paper, silk, wood and coal, Kilfeather uses processes such as weaving, casting and carving to reflect the diverse systems and landscapes from which the work is derived.
