I'm an artist & printmaker who mainly works through the mediums of drawing and etching. My project this year has been focused on the last expedition of Captain Scott, who went to Antarctica in an attempt to reach the south pole. I chose to use printmaking as its slow processes tap into the slow, arduous work of polar exploration; man-hauling, battling frostbite and snow blindness. This work of mine is centered on the ways that these iconic historical narratives are constructed in the moment, the ways that documentation creates biases, and how these stories get told. My work concerns themes of isolation, memory, distance, and narrative. These are explored through the use of polar imagery and landscapes as well as seascapes, image appropriation, found materials, and making use of archival and museum presentation methods. I've has been a member of Black Church Print Studio in Dublin 2, since 2021.
