I am currently investigating ideas of division,
separation and dislocation in relation to the experience of the
exile. I left Northern Ireland many years ago and have lived in and
around London since then. My work takes the form of landscape
painting &endash; but these are not easily recognisable places. The
places portrayed are distorted, fractured and imaginary. My process
is to make pencil drawings using memories of places or stories from
my childhood in Ireland. I transfer these drawings onto computer and
then make paintings from the computer drawings. By using this method
the paintings have the separated and dislocated quality that I
seek.
