‘Chaith sí an lá ag feamnú’ iAoife Casby & Lelia Ni Chathmhaoil) is a collaborative contemporary sound / installation sculpture designed for exhibition to float on water. It addresses, through a fun exploration of language and always new, adapting, regenerative, ever changing seaweed, the shifting narrative of our relationship to the sea as a site of recreation, work, pain and hope. This language is in our vocabulary as Irish people even if we are unaware of it. Seaweed has a long history of domestic and commercial use in Ireland and in recent times is part of a global revolution as a material that contributes to our attempts to address climate change. In this work we want to highlight the deep connection of a rich and active language related to seaweeds, the visible and the invisible, to our relationship to the sea. This sculpture, its references and materials, incorporate the west coast’s past and current economic life and reawakens our rapport to seaweed. It is an active, fun and empowering visit into the Irish Language. The human condition is reflected and refracted in nature.
- ‘God’s Little Cow’ (2020) is a language-based sound and sculptural object installation (for which I was awarded a PhD from Goldsmiths). This project serves as a practical reading experience of multi-modal work necessitated by an understanding of language that demands to be seen in all its materialities.
- ‘The Kelp Congress’, Lofoten International Arts Festival (2019) I was selected to participate in The Kelp Congress at LIAF where I produced a floor based text map, handmade books and audio installation as a result of artistic research during the Kelp Congress workshops. As a result of my participation I produced a text that has been published (and translated) for the bi-lingual Kelp Publication (2020) (https://2019.liaf.no/en/news/the-kelp-congress/)
