In my work I am interested in exploring the systems and structures that the individual in society follows. I document the common place activities that form part of the individuals' daily routines, in an attempt to reveal the structures followed by the individual in the process of living their day to day life.

In these works I have chosen use the KAP technique and the aerial perspctive to document the recreational activities carried out by groups of people. As this perspective reveals, structures, markings and patterns not visable from the ground

One image dipicts a group of people sunbathing in the carpark at the Beach in Bull Island.

Another image, taken on a Saturday morning depicts a group of swimmers at the forty foot in Dublin, this was late developed into an animated video piece and an interactive video work titled Saturday Swimmers.
