CURRENT MISSION

to seek out people of a similar creative, collaborative mindset. make art/ marks over borders. meet people of different cultures and find common lines. And generally have a good time doing new and interesting things. try anything once mentality.

ABOUT ME

Have not been home in two and a half years- on my work/travel experience have met alot of people doing the CS thing and reckon its a good way to travel if your ever going to get past the superficial understanding of a place or its peoples. my backround is is in art and more specifically performance. but recently socially engaged practice and sustainable living is whats interesting me. i conform to the irish cliche of liking a drink but am happy testing physical limits in other ways or getting stuck into a book (reading "three cups of tea" at the minute). love film. love food and cooking. happiest not knowing what tommorrow may bring.

PHILOSOPHY

find a job you like and you will never work a day in your life.
give and take.
we are here for a good time not a long time.
into the morning mist i did here roam,
yonder hill and valley i pursued the beast,
and in his wake a pair of roller skates.
take life as it comes and give freely of your time and energy.
