Dublin, Ireland
Aoife Herrity is a visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland. She was nominated by PhotoIreland as an Irish Talent for the Futures European Photography Platform in 2021. In the same year Herrity was a recipient of the Irish Arts Council Agility Award. She has an MFA in Photography from Ulster University, where she developed her series Sleeping Dogs Lie. Selections from this series have been exhibited in Dublin, Belfast, Copenhagen & Amsterdam. The series was published as a TLP Edition monograph in 2020. This ongoing body of work relates to developmental and interpersonal trauma, specifically implicit memory and the freeze response. Much of the series is brought about by research into psychology theory, memory and personal histories. Herrity works with lens-based media, the written word and archival material as a means to unpack and examine the complex area of trauma experienced in childhood.
