James Luke Hayes

Biography

James L Hayes contemporary artist based in Cork, he has a multi-disciplinary art practice, making sculptures, installations, cast iron performance works and films, as well as developing large scale sculptural commissions and public art projects. His sculptural work aims to draw out the often-incongruous relationships between finished art objects, and the industrial aspects of the processes that produce these revered objects. This referencing or re-imagining is brought together with his broader research interests that range from contemporary interpretations of sculptural legacies, to site-specific interventionist works that draw from traces of significant pasts and histories.
