Michelle Malone
2020
Michelle Malone is a recent graduate of the Master of Fine Art programme 2020 at Technological University Dublin, her recent focus comprises for a project titled ‘Materiality of Class in Contemporary Sculpture Practice’. Malone’s practice traverses between Installation, Images, Audio and Text, all of which provide insight to her experience of growing up in a variety of working class systems, mainly in Oliver Bond Flats in Inner City Dublin but also in Finglas and Spain. Her work raises questions regarding the politics and ethics of representation whilst discussing community, taste, belonging and identity. Ultimately her work critiques the instrumentalisation and aestheticisation of class in creative practices.
