Abandoned spaces are my happy place. I am intrigued by the traces left by former occupants. I construct tabletop models from card and photograph them. The photograph becomes the work. A different strand of my work is making bright spontaneous sculpture, often incorporating repurposed ready-mades, usually the work is intended for outdoors.

A more academic part of my work considers the building blocks of photography, pixels to analogue. I experiment with process and lead cyanotype workshops.

I am a Creative Mentor at EmergeinBath and exhibit my work in Ireland and UK. I am Irish with studio and home are in Bath, UK.
