Thorn Between Places (2026) is a piece of artwork created on Sherkin Island. It explores parallels between language and place, emerging during a phase of developing work focused on observation of language, obstacles, landscapes, and tension.
During this period, I was also examining the history of mark-making in the Irish countryside, including carved ligatures on stone, parallel notches, and other forms of inscribed or repeated marking. These references informed the visual and conceptual language of this work and further developed my practice for a larger-scale project.
