Catherine Hehir

Catherine Hehir is a PhD researcher at DJCAD, Dundee, and Lecturer at Crawford College of Art and Design, MTU Cork. Her practice operates in the Expanded Field of Print through fieldwork, collaboration, and natural materials. Working across cast objects, traces, and imprints, she frames print as an interactive, multidisciplinary encounter: "I integrate cast objects, traces, and imprints as forms of interactive print thinking, inviting viewers to engage actively with the work. This process not only preserves traditional knowledge but also highlights overlooked or redundant aspects of material practices." Current fieldwork in the Irish bogscape concerns elements of the past as ways of being with the contemporary world.
