My work reflects the passages of time. Past, present and future are assembled through an evolution of external and internal, spiritual and physical research. The work takes shape through an arrangement of accumulated layers, images and icons, overlapping, exposing and concealing information.

The “Mask” series began as a voyage of personal discovery that combined my interest in both two and three-dimensional work. I cast a mould of my face from which I created paper masks. Drawings, found materials and images from my prints were applied to the masks. Scanning these masks into the computer initiated a deeper probe into the past, that of my Anglo-Norman, Irish heritage. As a result the “Hibernian” series was born.

Both the “Mask” and “Hibernian” series demonstrate computer-generated images employing both etching and digital techniques in the finished piece.
