Annabell O’Donnell

b. 1999 Donegal, Ireland. Visual Artist. B.A Hons Fine Art Glasgow School of Art. 

Annabell O'Donnell is an Irish artist working with still and moving images - which extend themselves into the realm of print and text. Through her work she engages in dialogue surrounding the form of self, memory, longing and impermanence. Centering on the encounter between materiality and place, her artistic sensibility is characterised by transience and un-foldings, inspired by the qualities of naturally-occurring phenomena. Her ongoing works reveal scenes of intertwining and deeply attuned interconnections between disparate forms of life. Through manipulations in scale and fragmentation, these images string together a narrative that transform our perceptions on looking and being wherein they become glimpses of memory - falling quietly in and out of sequence.

Part One

Forming a longstanding correspondence with place, the photographic work conceptualises a reciprocity between the personal/non human and durations of time - a slowness that is hard to perceive or reach.


The work extends itself following a compulsive emphasis on the mythologised aspects of naturally occurring phenomena  


sub-lithic bodies of rock,

       voids of water,

               and the trees phantom limb.
