As a sculptural artist, my work explores the complex and evolving relationship between humanity and technology. I am captivated by how technology influences our lives, from our attention spans to our sense of connection. Using clay as my primary medium, I create immersive, interactive works that invite viewers to engage physically and emotionally. Unlike traditional two-dimensional art, my sculptures encourage exploration from every angle, fostering a more dynamic and participatory experience.

My passion for clay began in childhood, where experimenting with playdough sparked a fascination with form and creativity. This curiosity drove me to push boundaries, from winning first prize at the Tullamore Show to developing intricate, contemporary works that address pressing societal issues. My recent projects focus on the “doom scrolling epidemic” and the ways our fast-paced, tech-driven lives have diminished our ability to engage meaningfully with ourselves and the world.

In addition to clay, I work with pencil to create pieces rich in detail and nuance. My love for pencil emerged during my Leaving Cert years, culminating in a Special Merit Award at the Texaco Art Competition and the opportunity to have my work displayed at Drogheda's Art Gallery. Now, in my final year at LSAD, I merge these mediums to examine the movement of the human body and its relationship to technology, using art to hold a mirror to the habits and patterns of contemporary life.

At the heart of my practice is a desire to provoke critical thinking and reflection. By addressing issues like technology’s grip on our attention, I aim to inspire viewers especially younger audiences to question their relationship with digital media and reconnect with themselves and others. Through my art, I hope to create a bridge between awareness and action, encouraging a more thoughtful, intentional approach to modern living.
