My work explores belonging, displacement, and the unstable idea of home across the Atlantic between Newfoundland and Ireland. Central to this project are bricks found along the shores of Newfoundland—fragments I imagine washed from abandoned homes and carried by the same ocean that once carried migrants.

These sea-worn bricks are recast into small sculptural forms that echo the chimneys which often remain standing long after houses collapse. Historically the heart of the home, the chimney symbolizes warmth, gathering, and continuity. In my work it becomes a marker of resilience and loss.

Though the sculptures appear solid and permanent, they are hollow and lightweight. Like the communities and homes they reference, the sea-bricks embody a tension between permanence and fragility, shaped by migration, memory, and the enduring presence of the ocean that connects these distant places.
