My practice is rooted in study, self-expression, and attention to the environments that shape our culture. I work with materials that reflect my identity, found artefacts, inherited objects, and natural elements from my surroundings treating them as extensions of personal and cultural memory. Through painting, microscopy, and research, I investigate the hidden layers within everyday things: decay, residue, symbolism, and the tension between belief and reality. As a Nigerian-Irish woman working within Western traditions of painting, I question what is considered sacred, truthful, or worthy of preservation. Walking alongside the River Barrow becomes both a ritual and a research method, where myth, pollution, and loss inform still life and material choices. My work embraces layered process over fixed answers an ongoing excavation of place, history, and the unseen.
