Profile
I am an MFA graduate of the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, with a research-led practice focused on Irish cultural identity, material culture, and museum display. My work examines ideology and national representation during and following the Irish Free State, engaging directly with museum and gallery collections and their interpretive frameworks.
I have experience in public engagement, research, curatorial support, and digital documentation. My particular interest lies in contemporary Irish craft and design, and in how evolving perspectives on Irish cultural identity are integrated within national institutions from the foundation of the state to the present day.
