*We are very happy to be able to present this body of work following an earlier postponement of Inside the Box last November.*
In 2008, Astrid received the Arts Council Travel and Training Award and the Laois Patronage Award from Laois County Council which gave her the opportunity to travel to Canadato work with a dancer, Shelly Nafshi and create a body of work around this experience. The resulting exhibition Beloved, all is well was held in County Laois in 2009. Since then Astrid has continued to develop and work on the footage and research collected from her time collaborating with Shelly. This latest body of work is a continuation of the Beloved series but will see Astrid return to her practice of layering projection and drawings. Astrid deliberately likes the tension created between these two media and how this approach lends itself to her concepts considering themes of presence, reality, memory, loss and relationships.
Astrid Walsh was born in Germany in 1976 but grew up in Ireland. She holds a BA (Hons) in Sociology from Trinity College, Dublin (1998) and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Dublin (2005). Her work is held in private and public collections including Kildare County Council.
