Margaret worked as an Architectural Technician for over 20 years before transitioning to a digital
illustration business, following the fulltime Illustration course at St. Johns Central College Cork in 2005. Margaret then completed a degree in Contemporary Art and Design at Crawford College of Art in 2026, combining technical skill with artistic exploration.
Gathering and collecting along the shoreline, the ritual of searching, never knowing what she may find is at the heart of her work. The journey of each found object, the textures of what the sea has left behind brings with it an energy that inspires Margaret’s sculptures.
Mohally combines found objects with materials such as cast glass, concrete, and metal, exploring different relationships between them. A twisted piece of metal might combine with a broken tool, a fragment of wire completing a shape made of glass or metal.
Her process is intuitive and material driven, experimenting with configurations, photographing and rearranging elements until the composition feels right. The result is sculptural work that is both industrial and abstract, shaped by rusted fragments and forgotten materials.
