Native Trees Project

A project at two primary schools connecting to native trees and building a tree nursery. MORE

Here is the only photograph I have of these wood sculptures – it was 2005 and I was able to have some time at the Sculpture Centre in Leitrim. I completed three sculptures while there, each in oak. There are only drawings of these two to the left- it was a time I was exploring the Irish mythology of the Dagdha- Irish Bull God and archetype of healthy masculinity.

A Creative Ireland project in collaborate with Loic Jourdain of Lugh Films.

Teacht i dTír – Áras Inis Gluaire

View the exhibition on Vimeo here

Read more of the exhibition notes here

Teacht i dTír is an ongoing body of work exploring connection to land, language, place and heritage. Exploring the emotion of being “out at sea” as a symbolic state of being when disconnected from touchstones of identity and connection to place. These themes have been explored through loose ink drawings, texts, collage, pastel drawings, map making and film. “Teacht i dTír” means coming onto land – in the sense of landing a boat in a safe harbour. Teacht I dTír can also mean to understand someone or a condition of being understood.
