In any medium, her work leans towards transgressive experimental and hybrid ideologies, queer ethics and quantum aesthetics.
Redmond’s practice ranges across the disciplines of writing, critical theory, audio essay, radio, sound installation, drawing and moving image. She examines the practice of myth creation and the socialisation of humanity troubled as it is now by the onset of technological advancement and the scramble for depleting resources in an environment of expiring Capitalism.
The depletion of resources in her eyes are simply the wanton desecration of the earth for human gain because we cannot learn to be other than libidinous beings. She questions normative models of making art in such an economy–of not being perceived as ‘useful’ or productive and about notions of ‘wealth’, and often conjures speculative scenaria to think positively about a possible future .
She is interested in particular in collaborations with individuals from any discipline believing that the creations of the individual are limited and limiting, that notions of boundaries and categories are human constructs and of little use to current and future generations of life on this planet
