Aishling Muller is a photographer based in Co. Westmeath Ireland. Rooted in a documentary sensibility, Aishling creates an expanded narrative in order to explore the relationship between the conscious and unconscious self. Aishling's practice is concerned with development and growth on both individual and collective levels. By exploring these universal themes through her own personal experiences, being vulnerable and visible, Aishling's photographic and installation works aim to engage the audience by presenting a platform for connection and self-exploration. She visually explores outer landscapes as well as her rich inner experience, often working within nature, merging herself into the scene reflecting unseen worlds. Most recently Aishling has examined the conscious and unconscious through the use of fictional characters set in natural landscapes. She subverts her training as a documentary photographer through intuitive, spontaneous image making. She is currently developing a new character to explore the unconscious and is exploring how to introduce narrative into her work, creating a balance between structure and play.

Aishling Muller (B 1980 Ireland) spends much of her time aiming a lens directly on her experience.Upon completing an audiovisual degree in 2006, Aishling secured an internship with Magnum photos in NYC. This deeply nurtured her practice, leading to the first exhibition of her works in Westmeath in 2007. She continued and trained with an MA (NCAD Dublin, Art in the Digital World) and performance (Gaiety School of Acting, Dublin), while continually working with digital photography, video, community arts, and writing.

Most recently she has spent three years inspired by the landscapes and artistic vibrancy of Iceland.  There Aishling was involved in many and various projects, she ran photography projects, was involved in film and festival productions, became a member of FISL (Icelandic Association of Contemporary Photography), joined Listastofan arts collective, and delivered a TED X on Rethinking Creativity. She has since relocated to Ireland.

Aishling has been involved in community projects, group and solo exhibitions, workshops, and festivals in Ireland, Iceland, and Greece, while also exhibiting work in Sweden, Scotland, Spain, Germany, and the US.
