In 2018, He was selected for an eight month residency in The Wexford Arts Centre Annexe studio. He had a two person show “betwixt” (2018) which The Wexford Arts Centre acquired one of his works. In that same year he awarded artist in Residency in the Creative Hub up until 2020.

While his time there, he has been in group shows “Vital Material” (2018) Curated by Mary-Ruth Walsh, Cairde Festival (2019), The Model, Sligo and had his first solo show “Fake Utopia” (2019), The Presentation Center, Wexford. In 2019 during a group show “Material Objects” the Wexford County Council acquired a piece for there collection. In 2020, he was selected to show at the “Beep Painting Biennial” (2020) Cardiff and “Wells Contemporary” (2020) in Somerset.

My work predominantly focuses on the materiality of paint and how it can be manipulated and push through a variety of processes. By combining the paint with industrial materials, it allows the surface of the work to be moved outside the constraints of traditional painting and to oppose the aspect of the four cornered canvas.  

When trying to make paint behave in a way it wasn’t designed to do so. It is apparent that trying to control and shape and the composition of the work can be often hectic. It is not only about the surface of the work but the interplay of materials/ forms and how they intersect.

By working with these unstable materials through a process of tentative restraints to establish forms and structures. The original surface of the work becomes clogged and obstructed by the many layers of silicone applied separately to it.
