I am very grateful and extremely excited to be be working on a residency with Spike Island, Cobh, Co. Cork. Through applying for the 2023 exhibition programme with Sample Studios I was able to secure this opportunity and give thanks to all who have made it possible. Spike Island will serve as a rich activation for the themes and interests of my work and this project will truly allow me to realise my practice both conceptually and practically. The residency will culminate in a show at the Lord Mayor's Pavilion in Cork October 2023.
