Valerie Driscoll
Driscoll’s work marries the themes of public exposure and private contemplation. In interrogating the medium of photography her work explores the potential for revelation while simultaneously juxtaposing a repression or secreting of the private space. Often working with narrative, Driscoll proffers an invitation to intimacy and often refers to themes of sex, death, the domestic and the banal. 

Valerie Driscoll is a London based Irish artist. Since graduating in 2010 with a BA in Photography from Camberwell College of Art, Driscoll has won several awards including the Barbican/Jotta ‘Surrealism’ competition at the Barbican Art Centre, London.
