I am an artist and researcher from Co. Kildare, Ireland. My work considers the role of folklore, land and language across vast expanses of time and place as anti-colonial practice. My re-learning of Irish as an adult is an integral aspect of my work, alongside trance and flow states referencing the rituals of modern art movements as well as those of Gaelic diviners, healers and poets. Places venerated within pre-Christian animism such as stone circles and holy wells provide focuses for my research as well as sites of creation. Creating a dialogue between ancient and contemporary culture, my paintings, writing and performance art ask how to befriend ecologies, myth and communal healing in the face of commodification, conflict and climate crisis.
The best place to research my work is the National Irish Visual Arts Library, Dublin, which holds an artist file and artist books relating to my practice.
