Rebuilding Joanna Kidney's Encaustic Painting Equipment following her Studio Fire.
This page has been set up by friends in the Encaustic Painting Community (Melissa Morton Lackman, Kathy Cantwell and Steven Cabral) for Joanna Kidney. On 22nd February, a fire at her studios destroyed all of her work, notebooks, materials, equipment and books....25 years of her art life's stuff. Her studios, Outpost Studios (Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland) was established in 2014 by 8 artists (Joanne Boyle, Rachel Fallon, Emma Finucane, Raine Hozier Byrne, Eleanor Philips, Laura Kelly, Joanna Kidney, Ann Marie Webb). They will be fundraising separately for the studios losses. We'd like to help Joanna rebuild her encaustic painting equipment and materials to get her painting again.
The basic set up will cost approximately €1,900 and includes:
Palette, electric frying pan, extractor fan, beeswax, resin, starter set of pigments, brushes, heat gun, gas torch, flow pen, panels, incising and scraping tools, pigment sticks and oil pastels.
Joanna's Bio:
Through drawing, painting and installation, Joanna Kidney's work reflects on ideas of temporality and the interrelationship between all living matter. It seeks to make some sense of life- how brief, tiny and complex our lives are and how vast and infinite the universe is. Recent Solo Exhibitions include West Cork Arts Centre, Uillinn (2018), Galway Arts Centre (2017), Mermaid Arts Centre, Co. Wicklow (2015), Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (2013) and The Drawing Project, Co. Dublin (2012). She has exhibited widely in group shows in Ireland, France, Germany and the USA. She is the recipient of an Arts Council of Ireland Travel and Training Award, numerous Wicklow County Council Awards, an Royal Hibernian Academy Studio Award, a Ballinglen Arts Foundation Fellowship and a Dublin Institute of Technology Award of Excellence. Residencies include: Brigham Young University, Utah; Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Co. Mayo; The Guesthouse, Cork with the Tellurometer Project Collective. She is a founding member of Outpost Studios, Co. Wicklow, a member of the Drawing Suite and the Tellurometer Project Collective. Her work is included in the collections of Allied Irish Bank; The Irish Central Bank; Government Office of Public Works; University College Dublin and the Department of Environment, Northern Ireland.
