Who is I forgot anteaters exist for?

The series is open to everyone who loves a good rabbit hole. It is an open informal platform to share knowledge and share in the joy of the interests of others.

Aideen engages with remnants through cyclical processes—gathering, sorting, documenting, making, and assembling. She often works with found materials, clay, drawing, and photography.

Aideen Farrell is a Dublin-based artist working in sculpture and installation. Her work responds to industrial landscapes and infrastructural ruins, focusing on processes of ruin, extraction, and transformation.

She will discuss the layers of infrastructure that get built along it, what gets dredged out of it, what has been carried by it, what lives alongside it, and what has led her to make art about this route.
