PICKING UP THE PIECES

July 1, 2023

Breaking and re-making, we explore our collective angst at the ongoing and repetitive burden of domestic perfectionism. This becomes cathartic, representing a path to appreciating ‘mended’ things and a recognition of the power of the imperfect and the scar.

Working with installation, film and paint we have created the imperfect dinner table, symbol- ic of the thousands of breaks and remakes in all of our lives. An acceptance of ourselves and our own imperfections

Celebrating St. Brigid, Ireland's Celtic Goddess

February 5, 2023

With this is mind, I see it as positive progress that St. Brigit is now officially marked in Ireland, thanks to Herstory’s continued pressure and the drive to illuminate the joyous celebration of all Mná (women), our Celtic Goddess, Marton Saint and Imbolc, as well as the ancient festival of Spring.

PICKING UP THE PIECES, ‘The Imperfect Art Collaborative’

March 24, 2022

From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat
From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away

DARK TALES OF PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

February 11, 2022

The installation is influenced by the jewel-like quality of eastern miniature paintings. The work is a growing entity, a work in progress that may become more sculptural as I continue to unpick old stories. My inspiration so far has came from the works of the Baroque Masters, Artemisia Gentileschi and Elisabetta Sirani, alongside that of contemporary women artists such as Paula Rego and Alice Maher.

Phoebe’s Hand after The Rape of the Daughters’ of Leucippus by Rubens, 1618

November 5, 2021

I use the power of colour as a tool, not only to cover up this story but to eviscerate it, to burn it away. The colours seep and pour and through that process they singe the story. All I leave is the hand of Phoebe, letting us see her feeble struggle while the horses hooves rear up over her in blackness. This process of unlearning is not a comfortable one.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE and THE PIETA SERIES

October 20, 2021

‘Subject to Change’ brings together the work of seven emerging international artists responding to our ever changing political and physical environment where identities and the politics of memory keep being renegotiated.With social and political volatility heightened, this exhibition by a group of Postgraduate alumni from Camberwell College of Arts pertinently questions the symbolic capital attached to established cultural myths, interrogates the on-going struggles in contemporary geopolitics and de-constructs the embodiment of gender and identity.

COVID WARRIOR and CARES OF THE WORLD

October 19, 2021

The first, ‘Covid Warrior’, was inspired by a recent fashion campaign; each model on the catwalk carried another woman either draped on her shoulders or wrapped around her waist. This show of solidarity contrasts starkly with the solitary figure in the second painting, 'Cares of the World'.
