I am an Irish-Spanish artist and facilitator aiming to make art accessible for all through a community-responsive approach. I develop interactive work through textile sculpture, performance, photography and video. My work imagines different ways of being, existing and relating in an inter-connected world between humans and their surrounding objects.
I have shown my solo and collaborative work internationally in Germany and Spain, and in Ireland at NGI, IMMA and The Complex among others. My published works have been issued by the Douglas Hyde Gallery and ¬Accesos research journal, featured in Dublin Art Book Fair and included in CSIA’s, NIVAL’s and NLI's collections.
I am a tour guide and facilitator at Dublin Castle, Rua Red and the National Gallery of Ireland. I am a representative of the NGI Youth Panel, member of 126 Gallery, A4Sounds Studios and Catalyst Arts and former member of the Douglas Hyde Student Forum 2024. I was a theatre producer from 2017 to 2022 for amateur theatre groups.

I aim to build a reimagined, inclusive realm where objects and bodies thrive in harmony within shared structures of power and agency. I strive for the audience of my work to explore the potentialities of connection between objects and us, and to contemplate the implications of a world where objects hold the keys to a utopian existence. My practice traverses the line between the human and the nonhuman, blurring the boundaries that separate them, and establishing a new scenario where the frontiers between humans and artefacts become obscure, perhaps vague, trivial. Objects are no longer distinguishable from one another, nor can they be set apart from subjects. Relationships become collective, two-sided: we can no longer be understood as units, as single entities, but only as collective.
Whitin these parameters, I can only understand the world through what’s at the reach of my hand. I can only extend my body from where I am, and try to grasp what’s out there: and what I find are objects; and they find me. And like Odradek they morph into each other. They fuse, intertwine, and merge to create a sort of monstrous assemblage, or chimera, where, through materiality, their being is reconfigured. They demand to be heard, to be changed, to be touched, to be seen.
Therefore, change, re-configuration and remix are fundamental parts of my methodology: different works and objects merge, grow apart and change contexts within the chaotic assemblage that comprises my practice.
This work is informed by queer phenomenology and object-oriented ontology, to view the world from a non-human centred perspective. I work with collaborative and inter-active processes to broaden the possibilities of action, being, agency and relation, which aligns with the premises of ontology and materialism. I operate with and through objects, as well as human bodies (artist or audience), in performances, interactive works and installations.
