Artist, Facilitator, Researcher, Educator.
Raised and rooted within a vibrant Irish immigrant and working-class community in Derby, East Midlands (UK), my practice is shaped by lived experiences of interconnectivity and the politics of in/visibility. I work to reconfigure traditional documentary and photographic methods within an expanded, multi-disciplinary and auto-ethnographic framework. At the heart of my work is a critical exploration of absence, embracing invisibility as a potent space for reimagining visual possibilities.
My practice values experimental collaboration, co-creation, and restorative representation, weaving narratives of class, labour, gender, and family into multi-sensory experiences. I draw on collective wisdom through intentional and spontaneous processes, from creation to public engagement.
Currently pursuing a funded, practice-based PhD at UWE Bristol, my research, "A Labour Lens," examines the re-tracing and re-imagining of working-class women’s labour through auto-ethnography and the lens of cleaning work.
