Luminosity in loss.

Afterimage. Invisible threads.

Light and shadow. Language. 

Themes of restoration are the foundation of my practice. Using re-purposed garments; gauze, thread and beeswax, or paper, paint, ink, canvas, and charcoal, I seek to mend.

Bees, beekeepers, and the drone sounds of hives are recurrent themes.

I study Irish - a hereditary language - searching for words which articulate our deep connections to the earth, each other, all of life, death, and the ever-present unseen world. 

I look to language and cultural restoration as methods for collective rethinking.

Ultimately my work is about liberation - disentangling from the limitations put upon us through the overlay of colonial systems and therein seeing ourselves.
