BIO

Síle Marrinan is an Irish-born photographic artist based in the New York area. Her work is shaped by her Irish childhood as well as years spent traveling extensively around the world, informing her exploration of memory, time, and perception.

Her practice began with the 2021 publication of If Only for a Moment, a meditation on childhood, motherhood, and seasonal rhythms. Work from this ongoing series continues to be shown in juried exhibitions across the United States.

In her recent work, Marrinan turns her lens toward the terrain of memory, reflecting on how it is neither fixed nor linear but layered and reimagined over time. Using family photographs and archival documents, she examines how memory alters and reconfigures itself over time.

In 2025, images from this body of work were featured in two two-person installations at BAU Gallery in Beacon, New York. Her photographs continue to be exhibited throughout the U.S., and her practice centers on the interplay of light, passing time, and historical materials—reflecting memory’s continual reshaping, as fluid as changing daylight.
