Toni Gallagher | The Work

Statement

Having spent the last few years creating images resonating from her unconscious mind, the catalyst that committed Toni Gallagher to pursuing her dreams came when she was lucky enough to spend an hour on the fourth plinth during Anthony Gormley’s One and Other project in 2009.

Her experience as a set designer and storyteller has no doubt directed the focus on hyper reality. Working in mixed media, the execution is determined by the individual project. Her current body of work aims to recreate ‘The Lady That Swallowed a Fly’, in Xrays.

These images are the beginning of immersing herself in the Kaleidoscope of life, where the ugly can be beautiful, and the beautiful can be ugly.
