Cara is curious about the way we use language; written, spoken and haptic, to communicate in very intimate ways. She explores the shape and weight of words, how we use physical touch to communicate, the way a voice moves from one body to another, how relationships appear within writing and texts. Small-scale collaboration, often within her own close relationships, forms the foundation of much of her research. Through performance, writing, drawing, sound and textiles; she makes the processes by which we interact with those we love, tangible. Cara is an irish artist currently based in the hague, nl. She has a BA in Fine Art Print from NCAD Dublin and completed a MA in Fine Art at the HKU, Utrecht in 2021. She has an ongoing interest in creative education and public engagement within the arts and has worked in both STEM & Art education, teaching and leading workshops, in schools, universities and galleries. Her writing has been included in in publications by Bloomers Art, Metropolis M, Mutual Support Platform and Simulacrum Magazine.
