The Invisible Visible
The Invisible Visible is centred around the artist’s diagnosis of PCOS, a condition that causes the formation of polycystic ovaries. Her work explores personal narrative connections discovered between rookeries and polycystic ovaries, both of which require certain circumstances to be revealed, and when they are, are found as clusters of dark circles.
Caoimhe’s work is a poetic construction that highlights these connections and explores the act of revelation. The aesthetics of medical paraphernalia inspires the sculptures; the metal frames reinterpreting the traditional folding screen. Transforming an object used to conceal into one that reveals.
The Invisible Visible is a sculptural installation consisting of aluminium frames which support a composed array of visual works. Two metal structures accompany the frames. One displays a sculpted ovary, the other a rook’s nest.
