Pamela Byrne – Transition of Environments Migration from the familiar to the unfamiliar, Rural to Urban and how this transition has influenced Pamela Byrne’s work. Sculptor Pamela Byrne plays on notions of predator versus prey to make a comment on our ever changing attitudes and relationships to one another and to animals. She uses materials that have a strong relationship with the farming environment she grew up in, such as chicken wire, garden wire, baling twine and duct tape. These malleable materials allow the artist to create a creature figurative enough to convince the viewer it is the familiar animal, yet the materials have the figure bound in a strange way. It appears so strikingly man made. A hybrid of the familiar and unfamiliar. Pamela is taking part in the New Voices of Ireland Series running in CFCP. We asked her a few questions about her work and her transition from the familiar rural setting on a farm in Donegal and the unfamiliar busy urban setting of the MFA studios in the heart of Belfast City and ask has her work been influenced by her experience of working between two different states of living.
