• At The Slade School I studied sculpture, photography, sound, film & video and performance.

My degree show consisted of

        • photography using my self made cameras involving scanning people whilst dragging the film past an open aperture
        • a continuous sound piece generated on a BBC computer
        • an eight metre boat made of mineral water bottles

 

• Whilst at the Slade I worked part time, and after graduation full time, as a fine art technician for Momart Fine Art handlers and at The Saatchi Collection, London. The work involved the installation, removal and packing of art exhibitions, construction of site-specific installations, the making of customised packing cases for the transport and storage of works.

• On my arrival to Cork in 1990, I was production manger for Graffiti, a touring theatre in education company, duties included production management, set design and lighting.

I was then part of Meitheal Mara, a maritime resource and boat building organisation specialising in currachs in Cork, as a participant and then as C.E. supervisor.

I was a part time lecturer at Waterford Institute of Technology visual art department on a performance art programme.

I teach photography at St. John’s Central College, Cork.

I am a member of the Arts Committee and on the board of directors for Sirus Arts Centre, Cobh.
