Riverbank

Cover Illustration for the Riverbank Arts Centre season brochure.
The artwork is made with layers of transparent paper painted with paint markers and gouache. The centre will have redevelopment work done next year so I wanted the cover to reflect these changes as well as keep in with the theme of their season’s program. A line drawing representing the river Liffey is contained within the ´sail´, with an x marking the spot for where the Riverbank Arts Centre is located.

Repeal the 8th

Print and stop – motion animation about going home to vote Yes in the 2018 referendum to repeal the eighth amendment of the constitution of Ireland. The emphatic yes vote means that women in Ireland no longer have to travel abroad to access safe, legal abortion healthcare.

high flyers

This was an open call for the public art project Creative Journeys by NCAD and Dublin Airport with support from Business to Arts. One of
the requirements of the open call was that the billboard image contain aeronautical themes. Kites depicting birds of prey are used to deter birds from the runway. The kites in the billboard are flying over the Dublin coastline. The coastline will be familiar to a lot of passengers as their first sighting of Ireland before landing.
