Sadhbh Mowlds is visual artist who was born and raised in Dublin. After receiving her bachelor in Craft Design (Hons) from the National College of Art and Design, Ireland (2014), she relocated to Germany. There, she worked as a freelance glassblower out of Berlin Glas, working closely with clients on on-of-a-kind commissions. In 2019 she moved to the U.S, where she received her MFA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (2022). Mowlds works in a variety of materials to create jarring, bodily sculptures that initiate critical dialogue about the destructive effects of living within pre-determined, often patriarchal, constructs.
Recent residencies include STARworks (NC, USA) and WheatonArts (NJ, USA). Mowlds has participated in numerous international exhibitions, regularly showing throughout Europe and the USA. Her work is included in the permanent collections of Kunstsammlungen der Coburg, Germany and the Museum of American Glass, NJ, USA.
Sadhbh is currently a studio resident in the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, Ireland.
