Bridget O’Gorman is a visual artist whose work highlights destabilised or haptic deterioration within the lives of objects. Working with video, the sculptural object and live events, her enquiries focus on methods of connecting the corporeal or visceral to the inanimate to inform a dialogue around contemporary experiences of uncertainty. Recent exhibitions include In The Flesh at The Lab Gallery IE 2016, Telling the Bees at the Galway Arts Centre IE 2015 and On Beauty at the Roscommon Arts Centre. She was recently selected to develop a new body of work as part of the Wheatley Bequest Fine Art Fellowship at Birmingham School of Art. She is the recipient of the Arts Council Visual Arts Bursary Award in 2016 and 2014.
