Clodagh initiates collaborative projects and creates works that explore how meaning is formed through our connection with each other and the natural world. Her ‘exercises’, a term she uses to describe her event based participatory works draw on ritual. These works foreground experience and perception creating instances where ideas might be played out and ‘felt’. Clodagh has initiated and realised multi-layered ambitious collaborative projects, including Mystical Anarchism (2009-2013) with philosopher Simon Critchley, The Plurality of Existence…(2015-2017) and Crocosmia × (2018), with individuals seeking asylum and The Portal (2019) with playwright Shane Mhac an Bháird. Her work has been commissioned both nationally and internationally; Serpentine Gallery, London, Taipei Biennial, Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Nýló, Reykjavik, documenta XIII, Kaisel, Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Project Arts Centre, IMMA, Dublin, Visual, Centre for Contemporary Art, Carlow, The Model, Home of the Niland Collection, Sligo and Maynooth University.
