I am delighted to be taking part, for the second time, in Leo Boyd's latest iteration of his 'Time of the Signs' exhibition of artist-made and artist-modified street signs. The show opens on 1 October, Late Night Art Belfast, at Vault Artist Studios Gallery on Bedford...

Ahh the Fleadh, the Belfast Fleadh – were you there? I’ve never seen Belfast so lively, so fun, so full and so mad. It was so good – it was genuinely emotional. I’m even tearing up as I write about it.

In creating Amergin the video, I gathered a lot of material: plants, sketches, votive amulets, found objects, Polaroids, etc. Some find their place in the video, others work as supporting material. For Culture Night 2018, I have arranged all of this material on a wall near where the video is being screened. Big thanks to curator and fellow Vault member Sally O’Dowd, whose work also features in the show, and Marta Dyczkowska, another good friend and fellow Vault studio member.
