Graduating in 2021 with a BA in Photography, Aisling Edwards has developed her practice by recording her sculptures, born from, and of the, landscape. 

Although a  young and emerging Artist, Aisling's work has already attracted some high profile and international attention including a solo exhibition of her work at the Canwood Gallery and Sculptural Gardens. 

While exhibiting at the Newlyn Art Gallery, Cornwall, her work was seen by members of the G7 countries. More recently her work has been exhibited in Italy and Germany. 

In March 2024 two of Edwards’ photographs, ‘Offa spoke’ and ‘Perished in One Hour’, were exhibited at the Milan International Photography Fair, under the ‘Erik Kessels: Welcome to My Unknown Award – 1ST Edition’ Award’, where nine emerging contemporary artists under the age of 35 and engaged with photography as an artistic language were selected globally.

Her interest in geographical change and the effects of humankind on our environment has led her to construct sculptural interventions using site specific materials to mark her observations of, and response to, the landscape.  Using the vocabulary of landscape she plays with movement, light and change.

Her sculptures are temporary and captured on film to provide a permanent record and evidence of their existence.

Working in this way enables Edwards to reach a wider audience and promote the idea that landscape art can have a meaning and depth that goes beyond the surface, creating tableaux and moments that will in themselves become part of the landscape and follow nature's pattern of growth and decay. 

Each sculpture works with the movement, light and change within the landscape - its natural rhythms of growth and decay - and where left within a location her sculpture becomes a performance between humanity and nature.  

A departure for First Of March, we believe this wonderful young sculptor and photographer will create innovative and meaningful pieces that draw our attention to the issues of climate change and sustainability for future generations.
