I am a Dublin-based multi-disciplinary artist and educator, specializing in textile art. My practice is process-driven, blending sculpture, painting, and costume. Influenced by queer ecology, monstrosity, and identity, I use experimental material processes to reimagine the world around me. Sustainability plays a central role in my work; I engage with alternative and found fibres, and draw on antiquated crafts, such as marudai braiding, crios weaving and fibre cording, to question our material legacy, Anthropocene horror, and nature’s fragmentation. 

My current research explores ‘unruly heritage’ and queer ecology. I am interested in the haunting/afterlife of discarded materials and how they intersect with queer philosophy; particularly its rejection of fixed categories and emphasis on interconnectedness. I gather blurred images of nature, dappled light, distorted landscapes to reflect a fear of ecological disintegration and commodification. 

Materials like flax, hair, and straw are integral to my work, providing links to the tactile legacy of making and the ancient industries of craft in Ireland, and considering how generational knowledge and skill can act as forms of kinship, binding us to one another, to material traditions, and to the ecological systems we inhabit.  . As I expand into techniques such as woodcutting, oil painting, and printmaking, materiality remains central to my practice, guiding an ongoing exploration of the relationship between craft and fine art.
