I am an Irish printmaker whose practice explores how images are constructed through layering, fragmentation, repetition, and reconstruction. Working primarily with screen printing and CMYK colour systems, I investigate the relationship between structure, process, and instability.

​

My recent work has shifted from figurative imagery toward a more modular and abstract visual language. Beginning with the structure of the human figure, I reduce forms into geometric units that can be reorganised and rebuilt through sequential layers of colour and interference.

​

The mechanics of printmaking are central to this process. Through shifts in registration, density, transparency, and sequencing, each layer alters the image in unpredictable ways. These interactions create tensions between precision and disruption, allowing controlled systems to break down and reform through the act of printing itself.

Recent projects developed during residencies in Amsterdam and Athens expanded this approach through experimentation with pixelation, modular composition, and found materials. In Athens, the introduction of wrapping paper as both surface and structural element pushed the work further toward abstraction through texture, repetition, and material interference.

​

My practice is less concerned with representation than with the conditions through which images emerge. Using print as both process and subject, I explore how visual systems shift, destabilise, and reorganise through repetition, variation, and material interaction.
