I have just started preparing for my solo show which is going to be held at the CIT Gallery Wandesford Quay, Cork in July 2013, touring to the LSAD Gallery, Limerick. It is an award for me as a winner of Manifest 2012  - Kinsale Festival Award - with  judges:Patrick Murphy (RHA), Trish Brennan (CCA / CIT) and Mike Fitzatrick  (curator of Manifest LIT).
This show titled "Self portrait" will present works based on my family old photographs. However I do not want to analize my roots or have a sentimental trip to the past. My intention is to reflect my melancholic mood and a feeling of hopelessness and emptiness due to the passing time. The death theme  is extremely close to my work.
