Ma Waterprint
Oil, Flashe, ink and water on canvas
47 × 35 in / 120 × 90 cm
I reimagined this memory of my mom - a striking image of her - gaze filled with palpable anxiety. Within a lush, monochromatic palette of golden orange. This hue, drawn from the Irish flag, does more than evoke nationality; it breathes resilience and warmth into a moment once marked by vulnerability.
My work harnesses the power of a single, radiant tone to symbolize healing. Through my innovative Waterprint technique, the archival photo transforms into a lively floral abstraction, where soft, fluid shapes interact with hints of tension—a visual dialogue between fragility and strength.
Traverse the boundaries between past and present, memory and reinvention. This piece doesn’t just reinterpret an image; it reconstructs the emotional contours of a family narrative. The transformation from fear to strength encapsulates my meditation on trauma, resilience, and the unexpected beauty of reinterpretation.
Resonating on multiple dimensions: cultural, personal, and aesthetic. My technique and thematic exploration place this work within an evolving contemporary dialogue, positioning it as both timely and timeless in its exploration of identity and legacy.
