de Gordun is an Irish multi-disciplinary, self taught, visual artist whose practice explores themes of identity, place and duality. She incorporated textiles in her practice following her discovery that she hails from a long lineage of seamstresses and tailors. This led her to incorporate embodied knowledge in her practice, a process by which she reconnected with her heritage and gave her the opportunity to imbue her work with a deeply personal historical narrative.
de Gordun’s work has been exhibited in; The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Pallas Projects, Museum of Literature Ireland, Dublin Castle and has been published in Holy Show & Porridge Magazine.
