W/w, Sarah Long

W/w follows the trials and triumphs of Mary, an aspiring artist and writer, in conflict with the world around her. Confined to the porch of her family home, Mary’s consciousness searches for a new form, a larger space, to occupy. A bildungsroman a couple of years too late, a homecoming when she’s never left home, a Künstlerroman in denial, a neurosis; W/w is a work of autofiction that spins out into the space of the world.

Sarah Long is an artist and writer based in Cork. Her work focuses on suppressed female archetypes, the politics of representation, nationhood, and myth through the lens of feminism. Her practice involves painting and expands into the mediums of writing, sound, moving image, and performance.
