Statement:
I am fascinated by disappointments and disconnections. Through image making I explore the ideas of proximity without intimacy, and our desires and failures to connect to others. I am interested in the places where the emotional and physical worlds do not line up, where the schisms show their edges; the realm of quiet collisions and silent failures.
Bio:
Born in Chicago in 1976, I was raised in the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. I received a BA in the History of Art from the University of Pennsylvania (1999) and have studied design and photography in Maine, Milan, and Rome. Currently I am an MFA candidate in the photography department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2011).
This summer my work can be seen at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art, Grand Rapids, MI and the Center for Fine Art Photography, Collins, CO.
