Interstice
I am a Dublin-based artist whose current practice employs figuration and abstraction to explore the interstice between anxiousness and calm, looking in particular at the way our bodies move in these moments.
To investigate these themes, I layer digital and analogue mediums, incorporating drawing, painting, mono-print and photography in my work.
Ultimately, my work explores broader themes of precarity, transience, vulnerability, and time, aiming to examine both the unique nuances of living in the present moment and the universal facets of human experience that stretch far beyond our individual lives.
