I am an Irish visual artist based in Co Galway whose practice explores the expanded materiality of photography through traditional processes, archival materials and emerging technologies. My work investigates themes of memory, place, and transformation, often focusing on landscapes and histories that have been overlooked or undervalued.
My current work centres on the bog landscape near my home in north Galway. Through slow, process-led methods including lumen prints, I collaborate directly with the bog's materials and chemistry, creating images that emerge from extended dialogue with this landscape.
This year, I am a selected artist for The Doughnut(W)hole Pavilion at The Wrong Biennale (7th Edition) where my work All that is solid... explores what makes us search the voids others leave behind.
I am artist-in-residence for Friends of Kilconly Wetlands.
