We moved to Ireland when I was around five, and I was brought up in Sligo on the west coast of Ireland during my formative and adolescent years.” “After my primary and secondary education, I attended the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin, receiving a BA in Fine Art where I specialised in Printmaking.” “Over the next years I spent time learning mew professions, namely working three years as a construction worker. It was important for me to get more life experience and to get out there, to grow my potential by expanding my skillset. I also lived in New York for a period of time to experience the other aspect of my character, and to conduct personal research into my identity.” “My horizons then broadened further by living in Wroclaw, Poland; where I taught English and expanded my network, meeting a slew of interesting characters with new perspectives.” Let’s just say I was taking a Sophie Calle approach to expanding myself before expanding my career. I now attend the NCAD MFA, where I pursue an multidisciplinary practice involving sculptural work, performance, video, textile, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1621346096637-KM8RFI9KQT445NS04F9Q/IMG_20210515_210358.jpg Bio - Question asker, compulsive creator, horrendous hoarder, thought sharer. I just want to make something worthwhile and share it with others. https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/artist-statement daily 0.75 2024-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1621342141528-E362T47WDH92CQ8GZ33L/IMG_20210515_210358.jpg Artist Statement - Artist Statement. Walker Shaw is a multidisciplinary artist based in the west of Ireand, co. Sligo. His main focus revolves around the ignored/unseen world around us, and he attempts to pair his subject matter with the appopriate medium for the optimal viewer-artwork experience. Ideas around cultural identity, existentialism, technology, and matteriality are words to describe Walker’s practice. With a background in carpentry and construction, he aims to meld numerous mediums and processes together to create interesting and engaging styles of work, with a heavy influence on viewer particpation and interaction. The performative aspects of the creation of the work is another process which greatly inspires and influeces his decsion making. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1621343404385-WDG38QH3WYO4NQ558JCB/IMG_20210518_131431.jpg Artist Statement - A little bit about myself... I try to open up as much as possible to make it easier for the viewer to do the same. https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/store daily 0.75 2022-11-13 https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/store/prints monthly 0.5 2022-11-13 https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/store/p/real-good-craic monthly 0.5 2023-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1668361615172-YVDCW5CE99LQCCEGNAS1/REAL+can+plain+bw.jpg Store - Real Good Craic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1668361615195-UXM4KY6WAW3RCIIVD00M/GOOD+can+plain+bw.jpg Store - Real Good Craic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1668361615196-TLBSV8Z6RWBK4JKMAPRE/CRAIC+can+plain+bw.jpg Store - Real Good Craic https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/store/p/real-good-craic-good monthly 0.5 2023-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1668361184308-3AYZZDR8WV9NN1Z2H78P/GOOD+can+plain+bw.jpg Store - Real Good Craic (Good) https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/store/p/real-good-craic-craic monthly 0.5 2023-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1668360552217-JWZQRE45NDQ2MKQSTVAL/CRAIC+can+plain+bw.jpg Store - Real Good Craic (Craic) https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/work daily 1.0 2025-11-23 https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/work/twine-for-the-feed monthly 0.5 2025-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/2b398e3b-0774-4ba3-8390-9311291fa37d/_DSC0005.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/f8c0b617-aa2d-44a3-b96b-c1c8fd39b57d/_DSC0013.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/840f1aff-493f-4f25-862c-8d784794b743/_DSC0012.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/f8ae09b3-d7f6-4d20-9533-c99ee9a0091b/_DSC0011.JPG https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/work/aweekintime1-ptdrh monthly 0.5 2020-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1606759917909-Q1F9L9QDRLV3CN0E9BE5/DSC_0151.JPG Work - A Week in Time; 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1606760014159-NCGH500VRU5F8BU5ZVI1/DSC_0149.JPG Work - A Week in Time; 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1606760092851-J3FGOVQTL65AWVE88S7C/DSC_0133.JPG Work - A Week in Time; 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1606760173496-ZKCA8H2Y8G09P8PJ4QIH/DSC_0139.JPG Work - A Week in Time; 1 https://www.artistwalkershaw.com/work/loading-ds2dw monthly 0.5 2020-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc4d8e40b6b03258f4ea6ac/1606742765195-CRJKFBVYX5T61ZXA61Y9/echos.jpg Work - Loading..
