With a background in visual art and cultural geography, I have been thinking about what place means to people for more than two decades. I am interested in how place and our uses and understandings of it have been shaped by identity politics in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

In considering place and identity I also consider their entanglement with the past. Both collective and individual memory play a part in how we establish who belongs where.

I tend to work these ideas out through photography and drawing, and through writing.

I also work with my sister Gemma as a member of quarto, creatively engaging communities in many of the same issues.
