Marie Farrington is an artist working primarily in sculpture. Her practice reflects on the act of making through geological and archaeological lenses. Using casting, carving and other spatial processes, she engages with memory through situated encounters with landscape and architecture. Her works make formal reference to field sampling, built heritage, and histories of display. Dust, sand, wax, glass, anthracite, ink and volcanic matter converge within Marie Farrington’s installations, evoking a spectral presence through unfixed or provisional elements. Her staged arrangements often consist of flat pictorial planes that suggest an act of framing. Underpinned by a consideration of surface as a point of intense contact between the history and future of an object, her works become entangled with and contingent on their sites of their display, reflecting on the conditions of their own visibility.

Marie lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. She holds a Three Year Membership Studio at Temple Bar Gallery & Studios. Selected solo exhibitions include Diagonal Acts - Act 1, Kunstverein Aughrim, IE, 2025; The Unseen Eyebeam Crossed, puntWG, Amsterdam, NL, 2024; Glossaries for Forwardness, Museum Building, Trinity College Dublin, IE, 2023. Selected group exhibitions include Imprints and Breadcrumbs, CCA Odapark, Venray, NL, 2025; The Wave, Collecteurs, The Museum of Private Collections, 2022; A Vague Anxiety, Irish Museum of Modern Art, IE, 2019. Residencies include Fire Station Artists’ Studios (2018-22); Dublin City Council’s Albert Cottages (2023); and SEA Foundation Tilburg (2023). Her work is held in the permanent collections of The Arts Council of Ireland, Trinity Centre for the Environment, and the OPW Irish State Art Collection.
