is a visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland

Their practice centres on memory, intimacy, and material traces, often combining portraiture with archival and object-based approaches.

Through processes of layering, stitching, gilding, redaction, and photographic mapping, their work examines how personal and collective histories inhabit bodies, spaces, and landscapes. Influenced by devotional imagery, literary archives, and psychogeographic practices, they explores themes of remembrance, displacement, vulnerability, and the unstable nature of perception.

Their recent work engages with ideas of emotional topography and the preservation of fragile memory through image and material gesture.
