luminosity in loss.
afterimage. invisible threads.
shadow. language.
Themes of restoration are the bedrock of my practice.
With repurposed garments, gauze and beeswax, or words, sound, paper, linen, ink - I seek to repair - to hold loss, wonder, and awe.
Bees, beekeepers, and the drone sounds of hives are recurrent themes. I collect possibilities — stories of the infinite regenerative phenomena earth innately offers us.
I study Irish - the language of my ancestors - gathering fragments which tell a story of our longstanding relationship with the land, all of life, each other, death, and the ever-present unseen.
Through the work my aim is to disentangle from inherited limitations - the overlay of military-industrial-extractive systems - and therein see ourselves again and the worlds we desire to make.
