ARTIST STATEMENT

The work I create investigates my perspective of loss in the greater context of how Irish society deals with grief. Having experienced the loss of my brother due to a motorbike accident when I was just sixteen, I felt there was a lack of understanding around communicating grief. The work I create is an exploration of the beauty within pain and the material is interchangeable chosen to reciprocate the intent. Varying from installation, printmaking, animation to social engagement, it is vital that the work opens up spaces for meaningful conversations.
