Ciara Callaghan is an artist based in the UK working primarily in textiles. Through her research and practice in dyeing, embroidery and quilt making Ciara explores the role of heritage craft in contemporary culture, feminism and the interrelation between object and owner. She is interested in themes of place making and belonging; the importance of hyper local colour and textile objects in relation to place.
Ciara regularly works in collaboration with communities to explore these themes in their own experiences.
Ciara is an associate artist at MK Gallery and the Milton Keynes Art Centre. Her work has been exhibited at MK Gallery, The New Earth Art School and The Barbican Centre.
Ciara is available for private commissions and workshops on request.
