Career and work
Irish Times art critic Aidan Dunne wrote:
"Enter Mullarney's world, and you fall through an imaginative trapdoor into another realm of fables and fairy tales, where animal characters stand in for humans and meaning is cut loose from the bounds of convention. Her acrobats and performers evoke the heady, heightened space of the circus ring."[4]
Mullarney's work is in the collections of the Arts Council of Ireland, the OPW, IMMA, and the Hugh Lane Gallery.[5][6] Mullarney was known for "incorporating an extensive range of materials including bronze, wood, plaster, foam, cloth, glass and wax, her dynamic sculptural works reference religious iconography, art history and human relationships."[3]
Mullarney was a member of Aosdána, elected in 1999. She is represented by Taylor Galleries.[4] She has work in the collection of Butler Gallery.[7]
