BIO
Myfanwy Frost-Jones
Visual artist working with photography, video, installation and sculpture. Winner of the Parallax Award as past of the 2023 Cork International Film Festival, presented by Sample Studios, the National Sculpture Factory and CIFF. Winner of the 2022 RDS Mason Hayes & Curran LLP Centre Culturel Irlandais Residency Award at the RDS Visual Arts Awards and Arts Council Agility Award 2023.
My work explores personal stories and memories, delving into issues of identity and belonging. Exploring histories of invasion, famine and colonisation through my connection to the rural landscape. I look at the constant movement and change inherent in a working landscape with a focus on decolonising the archive and learning sustainable lessons from the past.
