India O’Sullivan engages in the studio in different ways, all underpinned by a sensory approach to making. Whether working with paint, sound or in sculpture – experimenting with clay, foam, wool and tape – exploration of materials is a key component of her work. The chosen materials become a shared language with the artists that support her process, many she has worked with over several years.
India is absorbed by the process of making and unmaking, concerning herself more with the transition between forms than with any sense of a “final” output. Her practice is often anchored in specific shared environments in which fresh materials and works in progress are selected, explored and assembled into something new. The resulting body of work includes intensely textural canvases and dynamic sculptural pieces that are often bold, multi-layered and complex.
