Artists Statement

I am a performance artist. For me, this means I make creative things about life whether through writing, speaking or making images using an ensemble or a video. I have been living abroad half of my life and the other half in Croatia and now I am the inbetweener who grew up twice, but I am very much an Irish artist. Right now I am re imaging my craft, from words to performance, from a notebook to a digital, from nature to socially connected, from mother land to Ireland, using skills I gained along the way to create. This time the project is special because it is about fathers and I decided on the idea because fathers are special and I am happy I had one.

My Work

“A death of a Star” is a personal piece reflecting grief of losing a father. It is written and performed by Mirjana Rendulic and filmed by Mark McNally.
