Switch Update

Last night I headed down to Nenagh, Co Tipperary for the launch of Switch 2009 in which I have a video piece. Despite the rain's best efforts a great night was had by all and a special thanks needs to be given to the Switch organisers for all their hard work and hospitality. Find more info here

Here are some shots taken on our walk around the town.

Switch 2009

I have been selected for Switch 2009. A video piece I produced a few years ago untitled(2006) will be projected onto the front window of an unused premises in Nenagh town centre. The theme of the project is playfulness. I'm really looking forward to seeing this work in a new context and meeting all the other artists involved. Find more info here.
