IRISH ARTIST AND DIRECTOR

CURRENTLY WORKING AND RESEARCHING IN NEW YORK

Weber examines the concepts of being and becoming, through film and performance works, textiles, and sound compositions. Responding to sites and environments, she captures tales of rhythmic behaviours, micro-evolutions and habitual absurdities.
With a deep exploration of world-making and materiality, she creates intricate and textured landscapes, merging hand-made and technological methods to create mutated and self-reflexive forms.

Recent projects include the film launch and screening of ‘The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming’ with IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Dublin (2023), ‘Fensive’ screening at IndieCork Film Festival, Ireland (2024) and iidrr gallery, New York (2023), ‘Hek Hek Hoo’ a collaboration with RHA Kids for IPUT’s Living Canvas at Wilton Park, Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) (2023). Recipient of the Visual Artist Project Award (2024) from the Arts Council, Multimedia Artist in Residence at Dublin City University (2022), Recipient of the Agility Award from the Arts Council (2021). A lecturer in Moving Image, across Design and Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design (2023).
