I am a performance artist based in Ireland. My practice attends to the intersection of invisible power structures, addressing the position of the female body as a focal point of repressed histories and political desires.
My performances are raw. I pare back my gestures to pure bodily instinct and improvisation. In my work, each piece of clothing is regarded as an object, enigmatic in form, rather than as part of a consecrated costume, simultaneously concealing and exposing the performance artist. I often seek out an occasion to accentuate these objects in relation to my body, exploring their history as I sieves through their multiple readings.
The use of endurance in my practice highlights the exaggerated protraction of time, an aspect enhanced by the symbiotic relationship with the audience. The very act of their continued observation, in itself becomes a ritualized behaviour.
In a review, Polish art critic Małgorzata Kaźmierczak describes my performance practice as “avoiding banal narration”, describing me as “an artist, which we all have full belief in.”
