FUTURE EXHIBITIONS

2017 - The Death of Nationalism - TBA

I am currently taking time off from exhibitions and festivals to build a body of work that will eventually culminate in a solo exhibit tentatively titled "Am I Canadian: Identity, Geography, and the Death of Nationalism" which will deal with my experiences as an Irish immigrant in Canada and the concept of what it means to belong or not belong to a "people" based on the imaginary geographical boundaries that hold us together.

At this point I'm not sure who will host the show, and I am not actively seeking out a gallery. I will begin that process when I have a considerable number of paintings and sculptures finished, probably sometime in late 2016 or early 2017. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more.
