Offering (2021) Media: Raspberry Pi, fence posts, six video monitors, timber 180x160x25cm A wall-mounted sculptural artwork about touch, care, screens and our relationship with technology and nonhuman colleagues. This artwork shows six video monitors on a timed loop, each presenting a different perspective on touch. It draws influence from speculative ethics, posthumanist philosophy, and time spent with critters. The piece was made on residency at Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Manorhamilton, Ireland (June-August 2021) and presented at the solo exhibition "Detached Touch" (August 13th-September 4th 2021). The residency and exhibition were supported by Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Wicklow Arts Office and the Arts Council of Ireland.The research preceding this work was developed as artist in residence on FIELD, a 6-university interdisciplinary project investigating the relationship between human and livestock through disease.
