Eireann Lorsung

Eireann makes prints, drawings, dioramas and paper constructions as a way of understanding the world around her and her relation ship to it and to the people she meets, using repeated symbols to represent these places, people and herself. Understandably, therefore, the work she makes can feel very personal. She tends to work on a small scale (partially because she’s been moving from place to place for the past few years), which lends a feeling of intimacy to the work. The media she is currently working in are etching and gouache/watercolours. She makes prints at the Leicester Print Workshop, and at the moment she is particularly interested in exploring the possibilities of chine collee for her prints.
