Artist, facilitator, researcher, and educator.
Shaped by the lived realities of growing up in the East Midlands (UK) within a scattered, wild, vibrant Irish immigrant and poor/working class community. This background informs and positions my artistic practice, perception, empathy, humor, and politics. My work reconfigures traditional documentary and photographic methodologies, situating them within a multi-disciplinary and contemporary framework. Central is a critical exploration of the visual and theoretical relationship to absence, where invisibility is not a void but a potent tool for reimagining new visual possibilities.
I work to restore erased or misrepresented histories weaving narratives of class, labour, gender, and family into multi-sensory experiences. Invested in experimental collaboration and challenging authorship boundaries within my creative methodology. Along with embracing spontaneous and collective wisdom that emerges through intentional artistic and research processes - an ethos that extends from making the work to its public encounter.
