Rain Sculpture

Irish artist. Maker of contemporary bronze sculpture. ​ Aoife developed her skills in bronze sculpture during an extended period in Burkina Faso, West Africa, from 2007-2008. She produced a number of large and small scale works whilst in Africa and these were shipped back to Ireland. ​ Aoife is originally from Kerry, but has lived and worked in Kildare for the past 8 years. ​Working predominantly in bronze, her forms at times hint at the figurative, but are mainly abstracted interpretations of the world around her. Artist Statement: 'My work is a loose and often abstracted reflection of how I see the world around me. It is influenced by people and experiences, and my emotional responses to these encounters. The sculptures I make are my attempt to celebrate and understand the world, and whilst usually abstracted, they are also closely connected to the figurative, or, intended to convey a variety of human emotions, experiences or responses.'
