Oonagh Hurley Artist lives in Cork City, Ireland. 

​

Hurley explores how life’s memories are reassembled in a fluid and non-linear way. Using old photographs, media images, and stills from old Super 8mm film for inspiration, she exploits the chance elements resulting from pouring and layering paint.

 

A graduate of CIT Crawford College of Art & Design, Hurley has shown work in several galleries in Cork, Dublin, Sligo, Roscommon and Wexford since 2009.

Women Unremembered: This body of work is about our collective amnesia around women whose significant achievements and / or experiences have often been overlooked, sidelined, airbrushed and ultimately forgotten. They have been rendered invisible over time.
