About MY PRACTICE Muireann Nic an Bheatha is a multi-disciplinary Irish artist working across installation, sculpture, olfaction, performance, and print. She holds a Foundation Diploma in Photogarphy from The University of the Arts London and a BA in ArtScience from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. 

Raised speaking Irish, Muireann’s cultural background and relationship to language often shape how she approaches artmaking, community, and research. She is curious about sensory experience, everyday materials, and the way stories are carried through texture, smell, and language.

She currently runs a regenerative materials and prototyping lab, supporting students in developing their own biomaterials and exploring circular approaches to design.


 Muireann’s practice exists at the intersection of materiality, storytelling, and sustainability. Through installation, sculpture, performance, and participatory work, she explores the transformation of materials and the narratives embedded within them. Her work reimagines industrial and natural processes through a lens of care, resistance, and experimentation—challenging extractive, capitalistic production methods while embracing slower, more ritualistic approaches.

She is particularly drawn to biomaterials, working with bioplastics, natural dyes, kombucha leather, and recycled synthetic plastics to create environments that invite tactile engagement and encourage viewers to rethink their relationship with materials. These often take the form of immersive installations, where audiences are not just passive observers but active participants—invited to step inside, interact with, and become part of the worlds she constructs.

Central to her practice is an ethos of sustainability—not only in material choices but in how knowledge is shared and made accessible. Muireann is committed to collective learning, often facilitating workshops, lecture-performances, and experimental labs that blur the boundaries between art, science, design, and research. Her installations serve as both documentation and dialogue, inviting audiences to experience the slow, tactile processes of material transformation and imagine alternative ways of making and being in the world.
