This project is about childhood connection to nature, exploration and imagination.

I grew up in the countryside of Dublin which gave me immense freedom to explore the land around me: fairy rings, insects, abandoned houses and sheds, the graveyard of teeth and bones that lay below the Hawk nest. Everything had a story, something tragic or magical, sometimes both.

I aim to create pieces that illustrate these aspects of childhood, both universal and personal memories that can be worn.

A physical token of a memory or time we cannot return to, instead, fondly look back to.
