A recent graduate of SETU’s Visual Art BA (Hons) in Waterford,  I am a painter concerned with digital folklore, affectionate anthropology and curated spaces of self-hood. I seek to visually investigate the assemblage of the digital excess, through playful and tactile means. The mutability and flattening of culture today inspires me to challenge material specificity and representation.

Raised on a nutritional diet of overstimulating algorithmic content and cute customizable self-surveillance, I aim to explore the social fabrics of hypermodernity through a Gen Z lens.

My subject matter lies in the playful exchange of absurdity and banality in what’s physically around me and inside my phone. Ubiquitous technology inspiring my use of tactile materiality, curated observations are visually investigated and abstracted through painting, sculpture and performative filmed Happenings. 

Documentation of the adolescence I have preserved in pixels warps with ‘poor image’ screenshots of digital folklore and disparate worlds found online. Instinctively collaging as a means of time travel; my mythos of transfigured trash is cathartically imbued with both anticipatory anxiety and enchantment.
