Ann Maria Healy is a visual artist based in Ireland. Her work expresses itself through video, sculptural and textual form. Her practice is concerned with reoccurrence, the power of history and narratives embedded within the human psyche. She seeks to co-opt the embodied meaning of material in order to unpack and subvert it, often playing with notions of taste. Being drawn to narrative that is connected to place and object, the work seeks to employ mysticism as a device to reconsider our present moment.
