Hello and welcome to my profile,
I am delighted to be part of this paper association. I am an artist and occasional curator with a rural studio base beside Lough Ramor in Cavan, Ireland and a developing base in Mumbai India.
Identity, journeying and everyday lived experience are central to my cross disciplinary practice which includes painting, drawing, video, installation and paper casting. I offer studio /accommodation (in an old converted schoolhouse ) for visiting international artists looking to work in a large rural studio in Ireland should that be of interest.
I love paper for its fragility, strength and that it can be made from organic or recycled materials. Over the past five years I have been swimming in Lough Ramor, beside my studio and this total immersion in nature has encouraged a freedom to creatively experiment with new materials. I spent time on residency in Pune Handmade Paper, Pune , India on residency and preparing work for exhibition. I am currently developing a project ‘Kala Pani- Blackwater’ between Ireland and India.
