Ciara Phillips

Canadian-born Ciara Phillips is an artist who lives and works in Glasgow, creating provocative, printmaking pieces and site-specific installations that occupy the margins between craft, art and design. While studying for a Master’s in fine art at The Glasgow School of Art, alumnus artist Norman McLaren was an influential figure for Phillips. ‘He went on to become a celebrated animator and hugely important figure in the National Film Board of Canada. I love, and always return to looking at, his 1971 piece Synchromy for its innovation and humour.’ Phillips likes to collaborate not just with other artists, but also social-activist groups including Artlink Central in Glasgow, which works with the disabled, and Justice for Domestic Workers in London. She has been nominated for this year’s prestigious Turner Prize award.
