Iris Ollier is a multi-disciplinary artist working across sculpture, design, and image-making.
Preferring materials with inherent novelty value, her practice investigates embodied perception and the tacit dimensions of human experience. A recent graduate of Newcastle University’s Fine Art course, Ollier’s work was perhaps best described by The White Pube’s Zarina Muhammad: “imagine if art could refract space, repel space, bend and shift the peripheral edges around you or bunch it all up close.”
It is through the body that consciousness extends itself and is affected. The body is both something which takes up space, and the core around which all space extends.
Currently living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland. Making forays into plaster, pictures, and experimental writing.
