My current work engages with (disappearing, diasporic, and minor) languages and their landscapes as intertwined topographies, using the Irish language (Gaeilge) as a departure point. Related video, photos, and prints explore orality and the resonance of language. Other work in progress uses language to enter Irish immigrant history, the complexities of identity, and my experiences in the present-day US. These works are unfolding in parallel with my hybrid book in progress, Between Language– A Love Song.

Forthcoming exhibitions include a 2026 solo exhibition at Suli T. Go gallery at Kahilu Theatre, Hawai’i, that will explore shared values and imaginaries in Gaeilge (Irish) and Ōlelo Hawai’i. In recent years, I have worked on an experimental play that engages with cultural belief systems and the limits of knowledge, and two lecture performances that seek to challenge hierarchies in the perceived cultural value of art. A further series of multi-media works on paper has engaged with cultural silences, withholding, and expression in tandem with my cross-genre book, The Shape of Silence.

My installations, video, photography, performance, printmaking, and artist’s books have been included in solo and group exhibitions in Ireland, the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the US. I have recently performed, screened, or staged readings of my work at venues such as the Center for Contemporary Art and Culture, Portland; Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Otis; Concordia University, Montreal; the Public Nature series at Ramona Art Farm, Portland; Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art and Thought, New Orleans, and 1430 Contemporary, Portland.

I was a year-long project resident at Stelo Arts and Culture Foundation, Portland (2024-5), with other recent and upcoming residencies at the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, California (2023); Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Oregon (2025); Camp Colton, Oregon (2024, 2025), and Vermont Studio Center (2026).
