Dublin-born artist Gareth Byrne creates site-responsive installations and sculptural assemblages that explore contemporary issues of class, identity, and ecology. By experimenting with natural, industrial, and found materials, his multidisciplinary practice—spanning sculpture, photography, media, and poetry—aims to activate the relational potential of materials collected from our environment.
