Originally from Scotland, Angela Gilmour now lives and works as a visual artist in Ireland. Gilmour's practice draws attention to contemporary topics dealing with climate change, land possession, sustainable consumption and the political and environmental impact of land and sea borders. Her work includes painting, drawing, print, photography and installation. She explores landscapes that have suffered trauma in recent or deep geological time. She creates installations and imagery from obsolete scientific equipment, objects of geological importance and photographic evidence of entropy at play in nature and in society. Recent work resulted from field research in the Arctic Circle, supported by the Arts Council of Ireland in 2019. 

Gilmour's work is engaged in site-specific investigation, scientific and historical research. Having spent decades within research institutions previously working as a physicist and recently as an artist in residence, Gilmour has compiled a database of facts that explore our understanding of nature. She questions our ability to balance progress with the preservation of the environment through her work. 

Since working on her first Class honours thesis Creating a Third Culture? Art and Science Interactions, Gilmour has built a relationship with Science Institutes National and Internationally. These ties lead to residencies and collaborations with researchers in Biotech, Nanotech, Food & Farming and Environmental Sciences. This resulted in interdisciplinary and socially engaging works for Science Foundation Ireland, Blackrock Castle Observatory, European Research Centre Tyndall National Institute, Irish Photonics Integration Centre, International Space Week, British Science Week and the New York Hall of Science.

Angela Gilmour would like to acknowledge Culture Ireland for their support.
