“Through the International Atlantic Residency Exchange between Eastern Edge Gallery and Artlink, I traveled to the North West of Ireland to stay and create artwork for one month in September 2022. The experience was amazing. I stayed in Donegal in the town of Buncrana and worked at Fort Dunree. Exploring the area, I decided to focus my attention on the abandoned and dilapidated bunkers and forts on site. I made drawn and screen-printed portraits of the new inhabitants of the buildings – the Fireweed, Bracken Ferns and every creeping Ivy. Artlink connected me with so many local artists. Most importantly, the artist-run print centre – The Derry Print Workshop, hosted me so I could screenprint in their studio to create a series of editions and produce the Bracken Fern Wallpaper. The wallpaper was installed in two different bunkers along with the drawings and editions”.
