Éiméar McClay

Éiméar McClay is an Irish-born artist who works in a collaborative practice with their twin sister, Cat McClay, from Glasgow. Their interdisciplinary work spans video, 3D models, installation and digital collage, and often uses experimental writing. Themes include queerness, abjection, and the influence of the Catholic Church and the Irish state. The duo graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2020 and were awarded Market Gallery's 2021 Studio Projects Collaborative Residency. During that residency they researched Magdalene Laundries and mother and baby homes in 20th-century Ireland. Their recent exhibitions and awards include Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2020 and RSA New Contemporaries 2021.
