Union (2018), Starstruck (2019), and Anthem Bells (2019) are multi-player musical instruments built on-site in Pietraroja, Sardinia and in Kilkenny, Ireland. I created these "playable sculptures" from recycled materials donated by the communities who now own them. A desire to investigate the contribution of music to human evolution inspired the making of these pieces.

Visual Music (2014-2022) is a group of paintings, digital images and glass bead tapestries in which I expressed music in colour to reflect how I feel it in my body. By freezing the music in time using visual elements--the colour and width of rectangles--to represent notes and rhythms, I facilitate a new perspective on musical architecture and open a door to understanding the mind of a composer.
