Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Today, I found myself reflecting upon a series of small paintings made in my studio at Uillinn: West Cork Art Centre, Skibbereen, Ireland while on residency in 2022. This is where my thinking of two islands, across distant locations, solidified—with a Google map reaching from Guam >> Ireland. Each location as the anchor to roots / routes and ancient, indigenous traditions.
