Join us to mark the conclusion of Carrie Lynam’s residency at the Tea House with a special in-conversation event featuring artist, curator and arts educator Claire Halpin. The discussion will delve into both Clare’s and Carrie’s practices, focusing on research processes, as well as modes of production and creation.  Carrie’s work questions how the erosion of personal privacy in our digital age affects how we view and portray ourselves online. She creates portraits of an era adrift, where identity and information can be ambiguous, manufactured and malleable. Her curiosity lies in the plasticity of knowledge and appearance. Her handmade art objects have a dual function, to transform and obscure. The often-pliable mask can be manipulated into countless temporary facades, it has no single form thus exposing a process of transformation and illusion.  Carrie has used her current residency to explore new directions in contexts and making. Producing a large mixed media drawing Making a Scene (200cm x 100cm) alongside a period of research, documented on @notlondonbased. Making a Scene splices the real and the imagined to conjure images that are both familiar and disconcerting, true and manufactured. – Kilkenny based visual artist Carrie Lynam graduated with a first class honours degree in Fine Art from TU, Dublin and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Community Art Education from the National College of Art; Design (NCAD).
