Iām a collector, a builder, gathering memories, photographs, colloquial phrases and objects of (in)significance. Through print-making, painting, drawing and installation, I examine time, collective-memory and socio-politics. Born in a post-troubles Belfast (1993), history and politics weave themselves in and out of projects as I continue to understand the city and country that shapes my existence. Moving to London to study and live for 12 years, I developed my practice from alternative living environments, allowing more time for my studio practice. In 2023 I migrated to Vietnam, exploring a different kind of artist existence. From workshops, caravans and squats, to a spare bedroom studio in Saigon, I am using google translate at private views, navigating a new positionality and re-connecting with printmaking. A medium of lightness in contrast to my mural size oil paintings and sculptural installations that tether me to the UK. Existing out of my comfort zone I am processing my multi-faceted art practice with a new lens and vigour. I am one third of F.A.F, a collective creating archaic sculptural installations and also a member of Crit Club, a small artist support network. These bind me to home and the art scene I have left behind.
