Collecting Waves
Collecting Waves was a one day performative project. I travelled to ten different beaches in the South East of Ireland, where I grew up.
I wrote a page on each beach, and released them into the water to catch a wave. The page holding the wave was then placed back into my notebook.

In 2019, Ireland was fighting for abortion rights. The time surrounding the referendum was tense and overwhelming. She wouldn't hurt a fly is an artist book that is framed like a child's counting book, following an embroidered fly: it explores the guilt, shame and pain surrounding illegal abortion in Ireland at the time.

holds so much promise
to burst into
a full-blown forest fire "
