I am an artist and researcher from Co. Kildare, Ireland. I received an MFA from NCAD (2021), have exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally, won funding and residency awards and hosted numerous performances and events.

I grow decolonial relationships with folklore, land and language across time and place. My practice embraces the persistence of suppressed others, the haunting of fragmented and overlaid memories and the teachings of hybrid identities.

Working through painting, writing and performance, I shift between studio practice and site-specificity. Emphasising process and improvisation, I invite trance states alongside intuition as a working method, and create actions drawing from ritual at venerated and historical sites. Re-learning Irish, I use it during performances, for work-titles and alongside English and vernacular dialect in writing.    

Ancient and contemporary cultural exchange is a constant intrigue to my work. Endeavoring for criticality and negation of romanticism and nationalism, my practice speaks to a shared postcolonial effort focusing on animism and folk practices untethered to a particular tradition. It considers holistic, new ways of befriending ecologies, myth and communal healing in the face of commodification, conflict and climate crisis.
