My most recent work focuses on Ireland’s cultural entanglement with Catholicism, and how it manifests in the lives of ordinary people, rather than the more formal institution of the organised Church. I'm fascinated by how passive participation and cultural Catholicism has permeated into the lives of Irish people, in ways often unbeknownst to us. My work uses mixed media to explore Catholic rites of passage and their shift from religious rituals to familial celebration, as well as stop motion animation to highlight aspects of religion such as reflection and stillness and how we can take them with us further into the 21st century.
