Visual Artist

Sarah Edmondson

Sarah Edmondson is a visual artist, art educator, and studio member at MART, Dublin. She is interested in the evolution of knowledge and the role iconic images from the history of art and the media have on our understanding of interpersonal relationships and the natural world; using a variety of mediums to playfully challenge anthropocentric views. To date, she has successfully created staged photographs in response to archival ephemera, pseudoscientific zines, moving images and video installations. The writings of Donna Haraway, Sophia Al-Maria and Hito Steyerl inform her practice. Sarah is also part of the collective MIDDEN alongside Mary Martin and Niamh McGuinne. Recent exhibitions included; ‘MIDDEN’, Luan Gallery, Athlone; ‘Through Light and Shade’, Alalimón Galeria, Barcelona; and ‘Gormworm’, TaKt, Berlin. In June 2023, Sarah completed a residency at IMMA with the Museum of Everyone’s Communal project and is a MOE Associate Artist.
