Things are always spilling around me. As a reliably clumsy person, for five years I have photographed everything I accidentally spill, not because any individual spill seemed significant, but because significance began to emerge through repetition. I have always found qualities in these accidents: the shapes, colours and textures they create; the shimmer of broken glass, the drama of spilt juice, the punishment of a coffee drip on a white dress. What began as an inability to keep things contained has become a digital archive of mistakes, interruptions and fleeting moments, accumulating into an alternative record of mundanity and time. Every spills tells a story. In 2021 I decided to start to document all my spills. You can see them at @my_spills.















My practice moves between research, speculative storytelling, and material exploration. Working through drawing, moving image, sculpture, and primarily textile installations, I explore how histories of place, climate, and human intervention reverberate in the present and question dominant narratives of space and how we relate to shifting environments.
My research is both archival and field-based, collecting stories, images, and fragments that trace the layered realities of lived experience. These are combined with visual references ranging from early artworks to contemporary media, creating a vocabulary that merges cultural history with the present moment.
My work attempts to balance play and critique by taking images, abstracting, translating, and transforming them, and then using them to retell stories. I use colour, texture, and pattern as tools to translate into visual form, developing abstract languages that give shape to forces often felt but not easily seen. Alongside my studio practice, I facilitate a variety of textile based workshops in Ireland and the Netherlands as a means of exchange and community connection.
