2022 Falter. Check. Resolve Studio 12 Backwater Artists Group Cork 

In Autumn 2022, I had a solo show in Studio 12, Backwater Artists Group, Cork; an installation of impossibly contorted ceramic horses, eighteen Beckett ‘Chess Piece’ drawings and a piece of text (a description, or a memory, of having played chess in a mental ward) on the wall. The ‘Chess Piece’ drawings are absurd in that all of the chess pieces depicted are horses, a tribute to the spirit of Beckett, in whose novel Murphy, the hero plays chess in a lunatic asylum.

Statement 

Born in Dublin in 1971, my son was born in 1990 - my work is about being a single mother, a woman. Often drawing on literature, I make work which concerns itself with trauma and joy - the joy of making.
