Both an artist and scientist, my concern is with Nature, particularly the world through the microscope. The Anthropocene is the challenge of our times: burning fossil fuels, pollution and deforestation causing global warming, climate change and species extinction. My response to the Earth Crisis, at present, focuses on the ocean and microscopic plankton organisms in particular. Plankton feed ocean animals, provide half the oxygen we breathe and remove harmful Greenhouse gas. My inspiration comes from electron microscope images of plankton. Kiln-cast glass perfectly expresses jewel-like phytoplankton forms, added sparkling silver referencing plankton Bioluminescence, seen at night in West Cork ocean inlets during the Summer. I also experiment with photography, film, and fibres in my installations: the oceans, according to David Attenborough, 'The Last Great Wilderness'. I wish to acknowledge the assistance of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES), University College Cork, and Robert Irvine, Post Production and Motion Graphics Director, AV3 Media, Cork and Dublin, for their assistance in the production of the video, Ethereal Ocean.
