Multi-disciplinary artist based in Kenmare, Co. Kerry.
A series of ten acrylic paintings on paper. Exploring the complexities of memory and perception, my project navigates the interplay between posed and candid portraits, landscapes, and interiors. Through these diverse subjects, I aim to evoke a sense of nostalgia, introspection, and the fluidity of human experience. Inspired by the theoretical framework of Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger, particularly her concept of the matrixial gaze, my research probes into the interconnectedness of subjectivities and the transformative power of relationality. Each painting invites viewers to contemplate the layers of forgotten histories and suppressed narratives that shape our collective consciousness.
