Kirsten Glass

Irish artist Kirsten Glass' work echoes the militant superficiality of fast fashion, she never provides an obvious physical or psychological entrance point into her images. Instead, Glass's objects exert such a physical presence that we feel they intrude outwards onto our own space and seem to surround us. Her figures seem to be both bursting out of their frame yet constrained within a whirling vortex of images, as though trapped within a claustrophobic world of shimmering surfaces.
