LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ABOUT THIS ARTWORK

 

[ays_poll id=323]

My practice is hybrid in its approach encompassing painting, printmaking and collage. It takes as its starting point found ephemera and material references that come out of an Irish rural experience and in particular their relationship to ideas of home and gendered space. Bearing the history of its own making the work appears as pseudo landscapes held together by quasi-architectural fragments and semi-familiar forms. The materiality of making in the studio is held within the work where references to a stage-set or performed space is also played out. More recently the work folds in ideas of the gendered body and motherhood where bodily fragments emerge, interact and dissolve within the fragmented spaces. Shadow, touch and tactility become important within the work, asking what does it mean to inhabit a body?
