I am a visual artist who lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. Through my sculptural practice, I explore the relationship of the body and its surroundings, interrogating boundaries and spaces of conflict and questioning societal structures and the ways in which we move against and within those frameworks. I aim to highlight the influence of power dynamics and structures within patriarchal society from a female perspective. My work is physical, using materials such as plaster, jesmonite, wood, steel, aluminium, copper and fabric, and plays with the tension between materials to construct forms. These sculptural forms become my subjects, semi organic, anthropomorphic entities and oddities that probe and prod, push and pull, challenging boundaries and spaces of conflict. In my recent body of work I explore themes of the maternal space, an interior domestic architecture. I examine the institution of motherhood alongside memories of my mother and my own experience of mothering.
