Fionn Timmins

Waterford artist Fionn Timmins graduated from MTU Crawford College of Art and Design in 2024. He works primarily with sculpture and uses video and sound to support this practice. His work considers our relationship with the landscape by reinterpreting ancient Irish megalithic forms, such as stone circles and dolmans. Working primarily with ancient bog oak, his sculptures draw on the symbolism of the circle and the Sacred Oak Tree, often referred to in Irish mythology. After his degree show Fionn won numerous awards including a residency in the National Sculpture Factory, Cork.

During his residency he will further his research about Brâncuși, one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century, whose work he fell in love with. He also plans to work on a new video piece that will complete a body of work including the installation Ciorcal na nDéise.
