Bridie McKelvey

Out of the Woods

Born from artist Bridie McKelvey’s passion for discarded objects and collected treasures. Bridie’s assemblages, collages and signature dioramas represent a small escape from life’s hectic and sometimes harsh realities. You’re invited to join the animals as they’re brought out from their usual surroundings into intricate reimagined landscapes.

A self-confessed hoarder at heart, Bridie works with materials from her own cherished and extensive collections gathered and gifted from near and far. Pieces are created with artefacts that date back years, some even decades. Each individual element has its own story, its own history.
