I am a Cork-based curator whose practice explores alternative working methodologies under late capitalism. I graduated from Crawford College of Art & Design (BA Fine Art) and Glasgow School of Art (MLitt Curatorial Practice), my research draws on my experience in the service industry — embedding labour, hospitality, caretaking and waiting as artistic methodologies.

I am interested in practices operating from below or outside dominant structures, examining the sustainability (or impossibility) of contemporary artistic practice. I approach the exhibition space as a site for alternative realities, individual agency and collective speculation. I will be the Emerging Curator with the Backwater Artist Group for 2027.

Recent projects include work with Plimsoll Gallery and Rosny Barn & Arts Centre (Hobart, Tasmania), Commune (Muine Bheag Arts), Radio Solstice for Cork Midsummer Festival, and exhibitions at The Crypt at St Luke’s, St Peter’s Vision Centre, and The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion, Cork.
