BIOGRAPHY
I am an Irish photographic artist, currently based in Dublin. My practice often explores themes relating to women's history, the body and spiritual beliefs. My visual narratives are constructed with a particular focus on the tactile nature of the photographic object and are often accompanied by text. I like to bring a sense of intimacy to the forefront of my photographic process, emphasising the connection between the camera, the photographer, the subject and its audience.
