Professional Statement
I am a visual artist based in County Cork.
Photography, video and sculptural installation form the basis of my work and my practice centres on the universal subject of loss and ideas of the ephemeral, the hidden and in repositioning the accepted or unquestioned.
My practice is participatory based and this has led me to new modes of collaboration with individuals and groups of people, who inform and influence the production of new work.
