I work predominantly in video, sculpture and installation, usually about the internet, religion, and my family. I use stained glass as an extension of the screen, like a frame for my films. My current interests are the world of post-truth online, the echo-chambers of communities based around a set of beliefs, and the effect on identity when these subjective truths come into conflict.
My first solo show iConfess was funded by an Arts Council England Project Grant and Leeds Inspired in 2022, and I have just started a new project funded by a Developing Your Creative Practice grant, also from ACE. In 2020 I took part in arebyte's 'hotel generation', and in the same year completed a graduate residency at The Art House in Wakefield.
My work is concerned with the antagonism between the internet and religion. I collide conflicting belief systems, using the humour of my experiences growing up in a large Irish Catholic family to question the underlying power at play in both domestic and digital settings.
