After a long period of wayfaring research, most notably working with stone builders and masons, I am happy to settle into a new studio practice to begin to develop new paintings and sculptures. I will be taking up residency back in Dublin city in Pallas Projects where I am planning a number of new collaborations and new cycles
During the past year, I have dedicated my time to exploring fresh materials and concepts. Stone is one material that has captured my attention, demanding an increasing amount of focus. This material holds significant importance in relation to ritual and memory, dating back to ancient times.
Working with stone requires patience and expertise, as even the smallest mark or creation demands considerable time and skill. Recently, I was awarded a development grant from Meath CoCo to support a research period in this specific direction.
As part of a rebranding around the theme of inclusivity, my work and studio made an appearance in a national campaign by telecommunications company 'Eir'. OisÃn Masterson, director of brand and marketing said about the film - “Our core purpose is to connect for a better Ireland"
Special thanks to Steve Battle for the heads up
