Ronnie Danaher is an artist and filmmaker working with video, digital technology and sculpture to explore virtuality and the sacred. Taking inspiration from the gilded camp of Catholic imagery, her installations use humour to confront complex feelings around her religious upbringing, considering the potential to construct new systems of belief and perceptions of reality online. Found footage and digital renderings are combined with filmed scenarios. These are then embedded within stained-glass sculptures, like a frame for the screen.
Recent residencies and awards include Dos Mares (Marseille), Beyond Boundaries (BJCEM, Fabbrica del Vapore, UK New Artists, Milan), New Artist Collective (UK New Artists, Lincoln), Hotel Generation (arebyte, London), and from Arts Council, DYCP, and a Project Grant for solo show iConfess. Recent exhibitions include God Willing (Shipton Gallery, London), Touch Me, I’m Trying (serf, Leeds), Festival Provence Art Contemporain (Dos Mares, Marseille), Relation de Voyage (SLQS Gallery, London) and Leeds Artists Show (Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds), and I Was Baptised in Fortnite (School of the Damned X West, Antwerp Mansion, Manchester).
