Stella Corkery makes work which considers a critical history of painting together with ideas surrounding feminism. References within her paintings can touch on art history, contemporary art, cinema as well as musical influences such as post-punk and improvised sound. Experimental music projects both solo and as part of the duo White Saucer, maintain a direct line to her visual practice. Although Corkery creates bodies of work that might seem to belong to disparate systems, in fact each operates within a unique, coherent and conceptually unified network of ideas.
