Elaine Byrne - ‘How do you just live?’

Neon on Board

In a short residency within the hospital, Elaine Byrne explored the places and the people who passed through the hospital: people who worked there, patients and visitors. In this work, she tries to express what she feels captures the experiences in common from this wide range of people in a place that is part of life but also has the character of being apart. Elaine Byrne studied sculpture at the Kensington and Chelsea Art College, London and the Frink School of Sculpture, Stoke-on-Trent. Elaine has exhibited in the U.K. and in Ireland, most recently in THEY HAVE EYES, Leinster Gallery, Dublin, Public Gestures in the Lab 2009, White Noise , Studio 6 at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, 2008. 2009.
