In September 2023 I was on residency at Uillinn, The West Cork Arts Centre. I was following up on some research for my upcoming book Irish Moss of a Dead Man’s Skull (The Owl Circus) creating Experiments in Listening. I had the opportunity to make more internalum paintings while I was there. I was quite taken by the colour of the water and spent the month moving between the studio and the sea.
I received bursary funding from Fingal Arts Office for the residency and Mayo Arts Office in preparation. I am extremely grateful for this funding as it is what makes the work possible.
The works and photos are concurrent. I don’t work from the photos. What they do is show what I am looking at and recording and choosing afterwards as the representations of that time, place and internal workspace.

In the spirit of time being non linear and an interval of space I am including here work made in 2020 and 2021 as these works are part of a body of work which is still in progress, still developing.
