Andrea Spencer for Ffern
The last shoot of 2025 - the shortest and darkest day of the year - I had the absolute delight of spending the day with Andrea - combing the beaches for seaweed and then observing her create impossibly delicate pieces - with glass and flame - no pattern or template - just the channeling of energy and vision from mind to hands - a dance between the glass, the fire and an instinct so uniquely her own.
Andrea @aspencerglass is a glass artist living on the wild North Antrim coast. Using flame-worked glass and mixed media she creates the most extraordinary pieces - inspired by nature, Greek myths, storied shipwrecks, poetry and folk tales drawn from the sea. She was invited by @ffern.co to create glass artworks exploring the materiality of one of this season’s ingredients of Ffern’s seasonal scent - black tang seaweed.
@ffern.co huge thanks for the commish
@aspencerglass huge thanks for a magic day ✨

I have a penchant for pleats
And the thinginess of fabric sounds
Susurration - a beautiful word for a soft whispering or murmuring noise, including that of wind in trees, water, or fabric
Huge gratitude to @theglossmag for this memorable commission - to make a photographic record of the archiving of the 400 year old garment collection of the Parsons family at Birr Castle,

Mary’s hands, with Bog cotton, Bearna, Co.Galway 2025
To mark 15 years of The Garden, @shopthegarden founder Mark Grehan is hosting an exhibition at his Powerscourt Townhouse shop in Dublin. Titled ‘Bog’, the show brings together the work of artists and craftspeople to explore the bog as both material and metaphor.
Rooted in Mark’s personal connection to the boglands of Bearna and West Galway, the exhibition invited us to reflect on what we keep, what surfaces, and what lies beneath. Bogs - natural archives of memory and time - preserve and protect, much like the practices of making and craft.
This two-week exhibition celebrates work that echoes the bog’s quiet power - rooted in time, place, and the enduring presence of craft.
Bravo to @cianamarch for curating and bringing it all together
Amo Kilfeather, weaver, Donegal 2025
Am beyond proud of this one. My sister, and best friend - Amo (Anne Marie), standing strong, on the lake at Glenveagh in the county of Donegal, holding one of her woven creations, inspired by the very landscape she stands in. The essence of integrity, made with wool from Irish sheep, spun here in Donegal and hand woven by Amo @amokilfeather
What a joy it was to be commissioned by the wonderful @ruthribeaucourt@faire.press to collaborate with Amo for their 13th issue. We spent a glorious few sunshiney days gaylording about the hills of Donegal - making pictures and finding words - to try and portray how special and unique Amo’s work is.
So much more to share about this - but for now - treat yourself to a copy of Faire - am beyond humbled at the incredible work of all of the featured artists.
Huge gratitude to @ruthribeaucourt for her ever giving huge heart, her nurturing soul and her belief in all of us dreamers ✨

Mia Mullarkey, Dublin 2025
Recent work - portraits for film & TV director @miamullarkey - I was lucky enough to shoot stills for a short film of hers last year - hit me up any film makers out there looking for stills ✨
Shout out to the sunshine - we leaned into it hard for this shoot - and oh did it pay off ✨
