Lumpy Art History was exhibited at Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, Dublin, 2001 and the Turku Art Museum, Finland, 2003. In Turku, the exhibition was a response to the work of 19th-century Finnish artist Matilda Rotkirch. The exhibition was held in two adjoining rooms of the exhibition (Studios) and expressed a sense of exaggerated romanticism. Rotkirch’s notebook sketches were transformed into vast, cold landscapes as temporary murals exploring ideas of the sublime and alienation as fleeting but profound experiences.


White Landscape and White History were shown at EV&A, Limerick City Art Gallery, 2002. These works are a response to the history of painting, post-colonial racism and the role history painting has played in perpetuating the dominance of the white male gaze.
