Irish artist Eily O’ Connell is known for conjuring up hybrid treasures, illuminating melodramatic beauty through natural forms. Using man’s manipulation of nature, as inspiration in a bid to illuminate the harm we are doing is a basis for her work. This brings about a macabre feel to her more avante-garde work. Each piece morphs into a new species through the process of combining natural forms and casting them into metal, adorning them with gemstones, enamels and other curios. O’ Connell grew up in a tiny fishing village on the North West Coast of Ireland therefore, sea themes are a constant thread through her work. Look out for crab claws holding gemstones and other nautical motifs. Eily sources sustainable materials where possible including recycled metals and fair-trade gemstones. All boxing and marketing materials are also recycled.
