2014 saw a return to painting and the development of collaborative work Horizons with poet Derek Mahon (1941-2020) a prose piece and poem were published as part of the collections 'Olympia and the Internet' 2017 and 'Against The Clock' 2018 by The Gallery Press.

This work is a response to the death of the image and the post-representational turn brought about by the loss of meaning in an image-saturated world. Haunted by the history and context of painting a systematic approach is devised; rules are established to organise what colours will be used, where and how they will be painted undermining any possibility of self-expression. “I am like a one-eyed ambient robot crawling across the surface of the painting eradicating any depth perception and diminishing aesthetic choices to chance encounters.” The results are reminiscent of AI-generated camouflage designs, where the image is hidden in a forest of visual noise. Images used include drawings based on screensavers, nature camouflages, photographs of Cork Harbour, Skellig Michael, Star Wars and the works of painters James Arthur O'Connor 1792-1841, George Barret 1728-1774 and Piet Mondrian 1872-1944.

A new development in digital media sees drawings from Horizons transformed into digital 3-D landscapes with the help of Net Artist Daniel Murray, exploring ideas of situationlessness, presented at the ‘2nd Symposium on Digital Art in Ireland’ UCC June 2024.

This work includes a public participation project, Build Your Own Horizon/BYOH developed for Bealtaine Festival and Uillinn, West Cork Arts Centre, 2022, exhibited at 'Fragments in Constellation' with Re:Group for the Skibbereen Arts Festival, 2022; exhibited at 'Coalescence' The Lavit Gallery Cork, 2024 and ‘Press Play’ Oliver Sears Gallery Dublin, 2019; and was funded through a Cork County Council Arts Grants Scheme Award, 2015.
