CV

Irwin aims to convey the innocence we possess as children but also to express the message  of human identity; she wants some aspects of her work to be playful, naïve and comical  while others are more thought-provoking. Her work offers contrasts: some parts are  tactile; others create kinetic experiences in the mind. These contrasts are designed to  stimulate different kinds of memory.  

Born 1994. London based.
