On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to visual artist Sadhbh Mowlds in 2023.

Sadhbh Mowlds is visual artist who was born and raised in Dublin.

After receiving her bachelor in Craft Design (Hons) from the National College of Art and Design, Ireland (2014), she relocated to Germany. There, she worked as a freelance glass blower and instructor out of Berlin Glassworks. In 2019 she moved to the U.S, where she received her MFA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (2022). 

Mowlds works in a variety of materials to create jarring, bodily sculptures that initiate critical dialogue about the destructive effects of living within pre-determined, often patriarchal, constructs.

Captivated by the susceptibility of consciousness, Sadhbh responds to the absurdity of human beliefs, perceptions and behaviours by questioning what it truly means to be self-aware in an abrasive, modern society.

Recent residencies include the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, STARworks (NC, USA) and WheatonArts (NJ, USA). Mowlds has participated in numerous international exhibitions, regularly showing throughout Europe and the USA. Her work is included in the permanent collections of Kunstsammlungen der Coburg, Germany and the Museum of American Glass, NJ, USA.
