first-person | Isabel English at GOMA Waterford

Event Details

Exhibition continues from the 1st of November to the 29th of November 2025

Opening Saturday 1Nov 4–6pm, GOMA Waterford

Through the combined mediums of photography, textile, and sculpture, artist Isabel English extends from the literary genre of autofiction – merging autobiographical truths with fictionalised renderings – to create contextually sensitive installations. Drawing on the architecture of the home, they fuse sites of personal significance with the politics of psychology. Body and building become analogous: the body acts as an architecture housing emotional interiority, while the building aspires to protect those who dwell within it.

Gallery opens 11am–5pm, closed on Sundays and Mondays.
