Brigid Mc Leer, is an Irish artist and writer based in London.
Her work is cross-disciplinary and rather than being led by a particular medium, it is led by a desire to describe aspects of identity and place that are ambivalent, dynamic and unsettled. Using photography, writing and processes of assemblage the work manifests 'conditions of inconclusiveness' in installations, photographic works, mixed-media sculpture, web projects and page-based works.
Moving between the practices of art, poetry, architecture and critical writing, the challenge of 'place' has become a driving force of the work. It is central both to the subject matter of a piece but also to the context in which it might be shown. As such, the work has been made for galleries and found spaces as well as for poetry and art journals or, as in the case of this project, for the web.
