I am using the act of walking and leaving traces on the land as a methodology in my practice. My work is site specific to the area of Curraghchase in Co. Limerick. Curraghchase is a Coillte forest park, belonging to the 18th century poet Aubrey De Vere. The landscape and environment are concerns of mine. I explore human interaction and man’s relationship with the natural environment. I am interested in how humans leave traces on the land and have changed the landscape over time. My work is a documentation of various walks and subtle interventions. Addressing the physical state of the land and raising awareness of environmental issues such as decline and degradation. Subjects such as psycho geography, cartography, land art, human intervention and the environment are elements in my work.
