Irianna’s multi-disciplinary practice includes ceramics, printmaking and sculpture with a particular interest in the ‘lost and the found’ explored through a variety of materials and casting techniques.

Narratives in her work explore issues of identity and (dis)placement through a transformation of images and found objects outside of their initial intent and purpose.

The featured protagonists unveil a macrocosmos of masked identities, fragmented conversations and fleeting moments. Deliberately shifting relationships between human and animal qualities, the figure becomes a cultural object that projects a narrative of a ‘new and improved’ reality; a super reality.

Since graduating in BA Ceramic Design from Monash University Melbourne, Irianna has exhibited nationally and internationally including Talente in Munich, Germany, SOFA - Chicago USA and Gallery Twentyfive in New Delhi, India. She was invited as Guest Artist in residence at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, USA where she also exhibited and her work has been shortlisted for several awards including the Deakin Small Sculpture Award, City of Hobart Art Prize, the Westerwald Ceramic Art Prize (Germany) and the Gold Coast International Ceramic Art Award.
