dear Friends, thank you for coming and joining in on my first solo show ''echo errata'' last last Thursday. so much soulful exchange in one evening 🥲 overwhelmed with gratitude. thank you @ormondartstudios for giving me a space to tidy lose ends of my graduate work via making more of a mess. (photos by @silvinasis , thank you 🪄)

piling up associations like building blocks ⛲️ june-august little observational drawings that are both foreground and background, and neither at all, mixed together like thoughts and feelings. making little gridiron cities on pages with a ruler and colouring in boxes like a questionnaire, strung together with lines flowing like satin from videos taken of the docks in antwerp when i would stare at the water ripples for a few moments on my way home after work every day

started drawing and couldnt stop, then made a book from it〈Cyborgs or Goddesses?〉 it'll be available for purchase at this year's Dublin Art Book Festival! (@dublinartbookfair ). this year's theme is Flock, curated by Selina Guinness running from 4-14 december 🤖 〈Cyborgs or Goddesses?〉is drawn from a year-long sketchbook practice exploring non-binary becoming through image, language and material process. the work attends to the porous boundaries between body/substrate, gesture/inscription and subject/surface. borrowing its title from Elaine Graham’s 'Cyborgs or Goddesses? Becoming Divine in a Cyberfeminist Age' (1999), this publication revisits her claim that “we take our sexed bodies with us”, positioning drawing as a site of posthuman embodiment and queer materiality. i am also forever inspired as well from Donna Haraway’s 'Cyborg Manifesto', and its imagining of the body in a post-gender world, proposing hybridity as a form of devotion.  pages hold soft, chimera-like forms rendered in watercolour and charcoal:  * circuitry for goddesses? * speculative sex organs for cyborgs? repeated, imperfect impressions act as temporal residues of touch ... the work elaborates and collapses into cyber-feminist theory surrounding ideas of selfhood, reproduction and technological intimacy. part intimate diary, part posthuman love letter; this book is a tactile theology into queer becoming. drawing performs as both ritual and interface. divine and digital coalesce together in perverse understanding. 〈Cyborgs or Goddesses?〉 128 pages, 10 x 14cm, risograph printed
