To celebrate the trailblazing female Saint and Goddess Brigid, I created a series of artworks that were projected onto three locations in Dublin during Brigid's weekend. These locations include the iconic and historic General Post Office (GPO), the Hugh Lane Gallery, and Barnardos Square.

Before St Brigid, we had the Celtic Goddess Brigid; goddess of fire, poetry, unity, childbirth and healing. These two share deep similarities and are both strongly associated with the feast of Imbolc. It’s not easy to tell where one Brigid ends and the other begins but I like to imagine the goddess Brigid as St Brigids higher self, almost as if she acted as a conduit through which St Brigid could channel otherworldly magic; like her famous cloak miraculously growing to cover many acres, or how she managed to turn water into beer. It’s the magic of both Brigids that first drew me in.

For me, St. Brigid and her higher self embody what I aspire to be as a young Irish woman. No, I don’t worship God, nor do I want to become an abbess, but these, for me, are the smaller details of who St. Brigid was and what she stood for. Brigid was an activist, a feminist, and an environmentalist who fearlessly advocated for the rights of animals. A trailblazing female leader who established a powerful and highly collaborative community. Her abundant generosity, paired with her drive and determination, is what is truly admirable about Brigid.
