Co-created with artist Kieran Gallagher for CCS International - Drogheda, through a facilitated engagement with staff and management. This work evolved through close discussion, evolution of themes and ideas. The final work referred to aspects of place and architecture of staff and visitors to the the international office whilst essentially maintaining a sense of ownership for the members of the company based within that office space
In 2014 ‘Bridges’ received ‘Best Staff Engagement’ accolade in the Business to Arts Awards.
’As a practicing artist, one’s work takes many forms; from challenging visual statements to the acutely observed minutiae of life. One of the most social forms of creative processes is where artist becomes facilitator, bringing their visual and creative sensibilities meeting other people’s ideas and modes of expression. The final piece becomes secondary to the process of discovery for all involved. Sharing each other’s ingenuity, codes, languages, differing ways of viewing the world yet still finding common ground for common goals’. TD 2017
