Kieran Muir’s current practice revolves around the fashioning of absurd cultural artefacts from imagined worlds and events using a variety of craft techniques including ceramics, textiles and glass. While the work seeks to question the legitimate place of craft in the realm of fine art, it also seeks to poke fun and invoke the humorous and irreverent spirit of the carnivalesque, drawing the viewer from the often cerebral environment of the gallery into the fun and frenzy of the carnival.
