Sally Hewetson

Artist Statement

My work explores the interior, domestic lives of women, seeking ways to articulate their concerns and realities. My interest in the impact of economic, social and political events on women’s lives shapes my practice and fuels my ongoing investigations. I am currently examining how the State describes the role of women in Ireland, specifically Article 41.2 of the Constitution.

By creating forms in wire, using the feminine crafts of crochet and knitting, my pieces are familiar yet alien, domestic but otherworldly – works that speak to the complex, lived experiences of women in Ireland, both past and present.
