ABOUT WORK

I live in Southern Ireland and much of the work is placed in the Irish landscape. The landscape forms a backdrop for images that are created in studio. I build up multi dimensional composites from several images using medium format photography and photoshop. My aim is to illustrate not one specific story but comment on unresolved environmental and social concerns of the 21st Century
