Documentation of Stuck, a decomposition, a solo exhibition in Ormston House, Limerick (February-April 2025).
The exhibition was built around a central, self-editing sound work embedded in a sculptural diagram of a Limerick Georgian Chimney. This chopped and scrambled narration endlessly attempted to explain how the narrator came to be stuck in the chimney, reflecting on nearly ten years’ research into the troubled relationship between Hiberno-English dialects and domestic Georgian architecture in Ireland.
