Keep Your Crawling Fingers Off My Poetry
The exhibition features a new iteration of my painting and sound installation, titled Keep Your Crawling Fingers Off My Poetry (2026). The work uses the Greek myth of Diana and Actaeon, the poetry of Seamus Heaney and allusions to Irish painting history to reflect on notions of representation, the properties of painting and the limitations of language to lay “claim” to an experience.
