We are delighted to introduce Rachel Enright – Murphy as our new Ormond Studios member!

Rachel Enright-Murphy (b.2000) is a visual artist from Dublin and a 2022 graduate of NCAD Fine Art Media. Through textual and time-based processes such as video, sound, performance, and printed material, Rachel’s work interrogates language’s relationship to the human voice. Her practice spans a range of disparate subject matter focusing on how emotion or intonation of the voice both succeeds and fails to transgress language. She often utilises found sound, video and text with the intent of reconfiguring existing linguistic forms and creating alternate communication methods.

Rachel is a member of the Douglas Hyde Gallery Student Forum 2023. She was awarded the General Artist Grant from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown county council in early 2023, allowing her to complete a 3 month residency in Leipzig. Recent exhibitions, performances, and responses also include: Fly Floor (2023) in the Complex Gallery Dublin, Caesura (2022) in Unit 44 Dublin, and I Love The Things I Kill The Most (2021) In Dzialdov Gallery in Berlin.

Ormond Art Studios is an artist-led initiative in Dublin city and is a platform for emerging visual artists. It supports the development of arts practice through affordable studio provision, critical discourse and space for events, residencies and exhibitions. The physical studios consists of eight individual artist's spaces along with a separate area that serves as the Project Space. The Project Space offers scope for work on a larger scale, embodied practice and experimentation. It is in this space that feedback sessions, events and exhibitions happen. We believe that critical discourse is hugely beneficial to developing a professional arts practice and essential to a dynamic arts community. Ormond Art Studios encourages members to open up their practise to peer critique and facilitates lively feedback sessions, residencies, and information/skills sharing initiatives. We believe in collaboration and connect with other creative initiatives to develop a network of support for artist‐led endeavours in Dublin and beyond. For more information please contact us at ormondartists@gmail.com Ormond Art Studios is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
