Working with reclaimed materials and overlooked spaces, interdisciplinary artist Ira Birch explores the intersections of art, technology, and placemaking through immersive works. 

Birch’s process dissolves the distance between art and life, offering resilience and the potential for renewal. With a practice rooted in resourcefulness, their sculptures and installations are built from discarded objects, challenging passive consumption and proposing new ways of existing within our environments.

Birch challenges conventional boundaries by transforming overlooked areas into public spaces, encouraging discovery and interaction in places people might otherwise ignore. Their creations are dialogues that invite participants to step beyond observation and become active collaborators. These transformed spaces become the stage for performances by the artist and their collaborators that create shared moments of reflection, connection, and discovery.

At its core, Birch’s practice reveals art as a portal—a way to reimagine the every day, reclaim the discarded, and illuminate the threads that bind us to each other and to the spaces we inhabit.
