Her work engages with contemporary myth-making, physical accumulations of time, and human tendency towards the generation of matter; thinking through the formations of the Burren to consider our current environmental shifts, the ecological concerns of the climate crisis and ways of naturalizing to place through contemporary rituals of reciprocity with the matter/sites in our lives. Her practice moves from writing, casting, papermaking, video, audio recordings, utilizing these elements to create installations.
