I am a photographer based in north Dublin with a practice rooted in narrative storytelling through the combination of image and text. My work utilises collaborative research methods to create layered and dimensional works which provide the opportunity for multiple readings. Drawing from documentary, street, and collaborative photographic modes, I explore memory, place, movement, personal history, estrangement, and adventure through textual elements derived from semi-structured interviews, archival material, photo-elicitation strategies, and creative writing. Through this approach, I make reflective and open-ended work that encourages a personal connection with the viewer. All images submitted are from my project Misadventure. Misadventure explores the aftermath of the death of my uncle. Moving between photographs and text, the work reflects on grief, family, and absence. Situated between a novella and a photobook, the project constructs a multistranded narrative shaped by memory, documentation, and imagination. The work draws from personal diaries, photo-elicitation processes, observational notes, archival references, and literary influences. Its visual language combines carefully composed medium-format photographs with snapshots and altered archival imagery, tracing a pursuit of reflection and reconnection. This intimate narrative of personal loss, situated within a broader Irish context of family, estrangement, and addiction, invites viewers to project their own experiences onto its layered form.
