One of the topics my work explores is the tensions that exist within societies
and with the religions in those societies that pressure women into bearing children, and the
insensitivities that arise from this pressure. I particularly explore the medical side effects of
hormone treatments, issues of biological clocks ticking and limited egg reserves. Of particular
interest to me are the ethical and moral issues that accompany sperm and egg donors:
especially issues of greed and overuse of sperm and eggs.
I'm interested in how Silence from a trauma affects the descendents of a person. Forms of epigenetic history . How memory can be erased , masked and hidden and the consequences of doing so.
I'm making work about the Magdalene laundries and mother and baby home. I am a child of a victim of these abusive homes in Ireland.
