I’m based in Gorey, Ireland. I teach photography and filmmaking at Gorey School of Art and I am one of the founders of Periphery Space, a not-for-profit art space in North Wexford.
Throughout the 2000s I made paintings, photographs, installations and films but in 2011, I stopped. I lost direction and my work lacked purpose. Around this time I began to lead Gorey School of Art in a new job role, which opened up new challenges and opportunities. After a few years we had a new building with a dedicated gallery space and cinema. Periphery Space was born.
Working with James Merrigan, Emma Roche and Deirdre Robinson in developing exhibitions, film screenings, workshops and residencies over the past few years has led me to a place where I am making work again.
