Artist Bio
The concept behind the work comes from the bog poems of Seamus Heaney where things have been buried and dug up through time. I wanted at the start of this project to create a body of work that looked ancient or that would look at home in an archaeology site.
Fascinated by the link between the past and present, I set out to explore the darker aspects of the human experience from betrayal to death and with this in mind I have created a series called the Driftwood Bog Warrior, based on the idea of an Ancient Warrior that is made up from items cast away into the bogs of Ireland.
