Artist Statement

My work explores the shifting relationship between place and perception, and how lived experience, memory and images shape our understanding of the world. Informed by my upbringing in post-conflict Northern Ireland and by travel, I consider how identity, class and access shape what can be seen, felt and desired.

Photographic and drawn imagery is transformed through print, extending beyond paper into sculptural forms and installations. I work with materials that carry their own cultural and economic associations, bringing images and objects together in playful juxtapositions. The familiar becomes unsettled; personal histories meet shared narratives, and the boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction, begin to blur.

Moving between intimate and the public space, my work reflects on belonging, displacement and the ways we construct a sense of place and home. Image is encountered anew, moving between the tangible and the imagined. The work asks how we come to know a place, who can access it, and how our perceptions are continually constructed.

In print, shared images shift through the memories, desires and contradictions we bring.
