Martina O’Shea is an Irish artist based in London whose practice shifts between sculpture, language, dream states, and the unstable edge of sound. Working in the overlaps between thought and material, memory and glitch, where objects begin to shed their everyday roles and open into something more speculative. Since 2020, she has developed collaborative projects with writers, artists, and most recently a neuroscientist, allowing those conversations to reshape how she thinks, makes, and listens.

Her process is research led but intuitive, anchored in the sensory and the overlooked, found materials, traces of place, fragments of speech or sound. She’s interested in what happens when language becomes tactile, and when everyday matter is given space to transform. Her works often appear as sculptural assemblages or gatherings of elements, provisional, unfolding, and porous.
