Projects

I like to try different processes and media which leads to working on different projects. Some are complete, some are in a rest period and others are the current focus.

Returning to school as a mature student has given me such motivation and the opportunity to have a cross discipline practice feels like such a privilege, although it can complicate how to arrange multiple threads of practice either chronologically or thematically.

There are three words that are the columns beneath it all, recognition, recollection and connection.

If someone recognises something in my work that brings forward a memory, then a connection is made, and hopefully a space for conversation.

Examples of some workshops

Workshops
Two books reading 'Goose Lane' with decorative border.

Covid Drawings

Tangible Selves, 2020

PS2

Tangible Selves was a project curated by Moran Been Noon, working with Moon Base group and the Black Box, Belfast. During lockdown I ran a series of online workshops with the participants looking at identity. The workshops were divided in to clay, sound and image sessions with all the members making selfie sticks at the end. This video is a compilation of all their work.
