Brigitta Seck has lived in Dublin, Ireland since 1980, where she studied at NCAD completing with a Post Graduate Masters Degree.
She moved to Berlin for an interlude of 9 years, returning in 1998.
She has exhibited and sold her work in Germany, Ireland, the UK and US.
A practising artist, Brigitta has for the last 20 years also worked (part time) in the Art Therapy Department in St.Patricks University Hospital, Dublin as well as a lecturing in NCAD (Dept. Glass/Ceramics) and delivering workshops for teacher training in Education and CEAD.
Brigitta's Art Practice, though originally graduating in Ceramics, has always enjoyed the unorthodox crossover of materials with the emphasis on expression rather than purity of approach. The materials are chosen in conjunction with her personal themes. Process and Materials are chosen to explore aspects of fragmentation, fragility, and lightness, interacting with space and structure, light/shadow, succession and interlinking.
Through her work Brigitta explores the idea of creating special, contemplative spaces which can be as small as a box, a frame, or within a given area, such as a gallery.
The larger sculptural work is often not just intended as a visual experience, but allows the visitor to explore, walk around and enter the piece, hopefully taking time to linger there. She draws on her love and endless fascination of nature and her personal reflection on the fragility of life, thought, identity and time. Installation pieces such as the delicate veils, made of knitted high temperature wire and porcelain fragments, combine physical, visual and sensory qualities that create a quiet atmosphere of calm and otherworldliness.
Within her practice Brigitta investigates and creates ethereal work, touching on aspects of thoughts and feelings that are not physically observable.
