The Dublin-based artist’s new exhibition is informed by her travels to exotic places that left a lasting imprint on her artistic practice…It’s all I ever wanted to do.
The Wexford Opera Festival was a significant influence for me growing up. When I was a teenager I worked backstage, starting in the summer, helping making the props and building the sets, with the local volunteers then slowly all the experienced people arrived from overseas, the stage-hands, designers, singers, the orchestra, and we helped behind stage with all the performances.
I vividly remember the day a set of encyclopaedias arrived at our house. I became completely absorbed in the one dedicated to crafts. I must have tried every single project in that book. TU Dublin was formerly the College of Marketing and Design. I did a foundation year there, when it was located in the basement of what is now Chapter One restaurant. It was a very creative course, buzzing with atmosphere, and we did a bit of everything, which still stands to me today. Then I moved into the Environmental Design course and my preferred subject was silkscreen printing followed by woodwork.
