Portrait (2022)
An installation with 5x4 analogue photos, video, etching, comfy chairs, magnolia paint & skirting board.
Covid19 Lockdown (2021)
5x4 multiple exposure analogue photos. One exposure every morning, a week contained in each image. The unwashed morning me, before the bathroom ritual reorganisation, is one which is fleeting; during lockdown it felt like this was a pivotal moment from which the the day would be decided, one worth marking. I was alive and awake and that was a blessing, even though in the fraction of a second that the shutter opened I wasn’t fully appreciative of the gift.

Self Portrait (2021)
During Covid restrictions I longed to wear party outfits and placed them around the house making them visible, as if an occasion was on its way.
The photographs of me hiding, naked, behind my dresses and the chair-robe piled with the everyday guises were taken on a 5x4 camera.

Hedges of Ireland (2019-)
An ongoing series of digital photographs taken of the hedges in peoples front gardens in Northern & Southern Ireland. These boundaries are similar whichever side of the border one stands, their upkeep and artistry is a symbol of the pride in the owners sense of place and belonging. They may be just hedges but they talk of bigger things.

In England's Green and Pleasant Land (2017)
I heard Blake’s In England’s Green And Pleasant Land in my head whilst out walking, I’m sure I’m not alone in finding greenness spiritually uplifting, so this is my homage to the blade of grass and bramble leaf that make up that green palate. The work lays out text from Blake’s iconic poem in British Sign Language Finger Spelling.
