    My work currently centres around landscape and the interventions of humans in it. The photographic work has been created by using the discarded parts of large format polaroids. They were taken in the summer on the arctic circle of northern Finland while being on an artists residency. Shown are the spaces where humans have interacted with the forest to make space for electricity pylons and/or roads. The video work has been filmed in rural Ireland on a dairy farm in the agricultural Hinterland of County Tipperary.
