"I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none"

 

Ben Shahn

 

I don't have a label for myself. As a fish swims or a bird sings, so I make things.

 

For a number of years I worked with clay and for the past fifteen years have used paper as a sculptural medium. Thanks to the encouragement of sculptor Seamus Connolly, who has an art foundry in Kilbaha, my work is now being cast in bronze.

 

Working with different materials, combining them, finding solutions, making connections is what I love doing. Having a strong interest in costume has led to designing and making costumes  for film and performance, which led on to making props and puppets.  For several years, in collaboration with film-maker Naomi Wilson a Halloween shadow play was produced at the Loop Head Studio.
