Biography

Lorcan Cassidy is a Dublin based visual artist. He graduated from the National College of Art and Design with a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art Sculpture and Expanded practices.

As a visual artist, Lorcan’s work revolves around creating alternate realities/other worlds/narratives and then making 3D work and/or drawing objects/artefacts/creatures/specimens from these various fictitious realms.

This piece is inspired by Turritopsis dohrnii, otherwise known as the Immortal Jellyfish. It is a creature with the astounding ability to revert itself to an earlier stage of its life cycle, turning back the hands of time whenever it wishes and as many times as it wants to. A true biological time machine.
