Bio
Eimear King is an artist/photographer and the administrator at South Tipperary Arts Centre. Following a Nat Dip in Art & Environment from WIT, she has worked in the arts freelance in theatre, as a photographer and subsequently as a framer for 12 years at Artisan Frames in Clonmel. Having returned to education, she graduated in 2017 with a BSc (Hons) in Creative Media from TUS. This course sparked a return to lens based work, and a desire to communicate through audio & video. She produced & presented an arts programme on Tipp FM, and now produces a podcast for STAC. She has since completed several projects for Culture Night and Creative Ireland. She is an obsessive photographer.
Statement
Eimear is a keen observer of nature, in both urban and rural settings. Living in a rural Irish town means that these worlds intersect in a myriad of ways, and the wildness is never far away. Being very much influenced and inspired by the natural world, and the elements, she is enchanted with the ancient, and the unseen, and the spirit of place, and endeavours to capture this in her images. Texture and layering play an important part of her process, which is completely screen based, and she employs several digital tools along the way. Experimentation with various tools and techniques means that alongside more ‘traditional’ photograpic images, she likes to produce more graphic style work, which can be most clearly seen in her ongoing crow series.
Is mór an onóir dom bheith ag obair le Maria Coleman agus leis an bhfoireann i Samhlaigh chun suiteáil oibre a cheapadh do' Tuatha na nEalaíon'. Táim sásta tacú le tionscadal chomh corraitheach sin, ar bhealach ar bith is féidir liom.
