In my sculptures I invite viewers to journey with me, using humour as a lens to contemplate the evolution of familial dynamics and the preservation of moral values in an ever-changing Ireland. My practice includes mixed media, sound and performance works, and wood carvings. The works are autobiographical narratives, sculpted reflections of my experiences navigating the complex realms of memory, motherhood, mental health and contemporary society. Growing up as a daughter of a carpenter, my father's craft instilled in me a deep appreciation for the versatility and richness of wood as material. Utilizing locally sourced wood, often reclaimed from felled trees due to rot or overgrowth, I carry on his legacy by employing both traditional and contemporary carving techniques to craft sculpture that bridge the past and present.
