Grounded in research spanning Yeatsian folklore to the Picturesque movement, Devlin constructs high-relief wall pieces, functional art, and spatial installations that position fantasy as the sublime threshold between a Todorovian understanding of the uncanny and the marvelous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuided by Pallasmaa’s \"thinking hand\" and Christopher Alexander’s \"test of aliveness,\" Devlin employs a custom-formulated sequence of layered mediums to obscure the material origins of his surfaces, resulting in objects with a distinctly unreal, illusory quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDevlin holds an MPhil from Cambridge University and a B.Env.D.
