UPCOMING:

Syracuse, NY. March 2010. Group show curated by Maeve Mulrennan.
I have an interest in modernist architecture and a passion for retro design. I graduated from the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology in 2008 with a Bachelors (Honours) degree in fine arts. I received First class honours and was awarded the Allied Irish Bank paint student of the year award.
In my work I explore the modernist architects' dreams of utopia, but also the resulting feelings of otherness, longing and detachment that may be shared by natives and foreigners alike.
I want to show the ruminating spaces that silently stand there while we dream away and forget to look, because they have become so common, so everyday to us that we take them for granted, because they're only a temporary stop on a journey that is meant to take us elsewhere.
