Kerrie O' Leary
Kerrie O’Leary is an Irish visual artist working between Dublin and London. She translates environmental data into tactile works—pen-plotted drawings on paper, sound pieces, and moving sculpture. Working with tides, weather records and coastal fieldwork, she builds systems that turn these traces into flowing lines and physical motion. Rooted in hydrofeminism, her practice treats water as a collaborator rather than a backdrop, exploring interdependence, care and the porous boundaries between bodies, technologies and ecosystems. Her work has been presented at Somerset House and the V&A, and internationally through residencies and exhibitions
Her work has been exhibited at institutions such as Somerset House and the V&A in London, as well as internationally in New York, China, and Dublin. She has collaborated with The Eco Show Boat and Emergency Exit Arts to create public artworks that interrogate climate crisis narratives. Past residencies include College Lane Gallery (Dublin) and Tides Institute and Museum of Art (Maine, USA).
