I am an artist, writer and performer with a socially engaged practice. My work frequently deals with place, the self and identity. As an entryway to these
themes I tend to use my personal context as an entryway. As such, the work is informed by Irish/Northern Irish, post-conflict and rural contexts.
In terms of form, I typically use video, sound and spoken word. I also work using interactive systems and radio.
In January 2024 I graduated from University of Limerick's MA in Art & Technology and am now based nearby Newry City, Northern Ireland. I am currently
participating in PS2 Belfast's Ideal Development Opportunity residency and working as a volunteer on Locate International's development programme.
