Tape (2021)

Tape is a series of public engaged art works. I would go to public spaces (stations, city centers), where I would start taping on the ground. It was an act of taking control of the space without making a permanent impact. It was about creating an unordinary moment and make people curious. People passing by would be interested and I would ask them to join me in this act. It is about connecting to strangers and giving them the option to “take a risk” even on a really small scale. Enabling a moment of playfulness and freedom.

The Pandemic (2020)

San Francisco (2020)

A selection of work I made during my stay in San Francisco, the United States. I spent 3 months of my graduation year there, to do visual research for my final project. Meanwhile I was writing my thesis about escapism, A theme that is reoccurring in my work.

Glengarriff (2019)

These drawings are based on my childhood memories of living in Ireland when I was 4 years old. All drawings are  made from memory. I was doing research on how accurate my visual memory was. The only way to test if my memories were correct, was by returning to Ireland. 

The art project tells a story about how the world is perceived as a child and how this reflects in our adult life. Looking back to younger years everything seemed magical (+ the fact that Ireland is a magical and mystical country). Returning back to the same places, I discovered that this magic is not lost, it is just takes different shapes. Energy never leaves us, it just transforms. I learned to trust my instincts and learned that the body remembers a lot. Even when the mind forgot.  

It was an emotional and impactful project for my personal and artistic development. It showed me that magic still exists and that time goes by wether we want it or not -  things change and sometimes we have to say goodbye to the way things were. But the nature, the energy around you, still can guide you, as long as you listen closely.

I promised the land I will return when I'm 30.  To reflect on how times have changed yet again. 

The vulva project  (2018)

The vulva project is about creating awareness and acceptance of one’s vulva. For this project I spoke to twenty women.  In this conversation they tried to describe their vulva to me. While they were describing their vulva to me, I would try to draw what they were describing.

We crossed a societal threshold, that withdraws us from seeing our vulva as something that is taboo. Taking one step closer to self love and acceptance.

The outcomes of these conversations are bundled in a book that’s called V.
