Miriam Innes
Hailing from County Mayo and now based in Brisbane, Miriam Innes is an amazingly talented Irish artist best known for her charcoal drawings and her large scale charcoal installations of hyper-realistic sprawling streetscapes. Preoccupied by the metropolis yet her choice of natural materials reflects upon her childhood spent in Ireland’s marshlands. Oscillating between two worlds – the natural and built environment – she likens the organic qualities of her medium, charcoal, to the ‘bog oak’ found close to her home. Its simplicity, Innes asserts, renders it overlooked and understated, a notion echoed in her choice of mono-tone palette, yet her cityscapes loom large and are rich in their complexity.
