Etaoin Melville is a Cork-based visual artist, specialising in video and installation. She has received two Arts Council Agility Awards since 2021, during which time, she has been mentored by artist Aideen Barry and is collaborating with Linda Cullen (aerial artist, writer and performer) on a project called Backbone, focusing on issues around motherhood and the value we hold individually and as a society for this role, investigated through socially engaged co-created works.

She is currently exploring a new body of work ‘Ancestral Sap’ which combines film, stop frame animation, dry point print-making and painting and explores the complexities of women’s place in the world.
