Sióg na Fige is an installation based work that utilises printed patterns, and the language of clothing to explore the power dynamic between the closeted and the spectator. Drawing on the idea of ‘the glass closet’ as written about by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, the artist interprets the concept in a literal embodiment to express their own experiences of growing up queer in rural Ireland. Lamenting on the proposed warmth and safety of the closet, never personally experienced. Each of the pattern designs uses double meaning and coded language to express outward or inward queerness.
