Description

Aisling O’Beirn’s exhibition explores the relationship between art, science, and environmental change.

Using sculpture, installation, and animation, she examines the impact of artificial light on ecosystems and humanity’s disconnection from the night sky. Featuring newly commissioned and reworked pieces, the exhibition highlights the celestial as an ecologically vital force.
