About

Born in Enniscorthy, Wexford, Ireland, during the height of the ‘Troubles’ to an Irish mother and an English father, Wendy grew up with a deep bodily awareness of the socio-political definitions and boundaries that define and bind us when left unquestioned. These experiences shape her work and life.

Wendy plays a strategic role with Stick Mob Studio, a storytelling collective that works alongside and with Arrernte Country, Central Australia. Her practice and scholarship involve troubling the assumptions of intracultural and intragenerational practices in settler state concepts and contexts.

Collaborative-led works have been exhibited in the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA); Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), London, England; Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, Ireland; UNSW Galleries, Sydney, Australia; Araluen Art Gallery, Mparntwe-Alice Springs; Parliament House, Canberra, and Watch This Space Gallery, Mparntwe, Central Australia as well as at festivals in Galway, Dublin, Derry, Tipperary, Wolverhampton, and Darwin.

Creative works have been recognised with awards from ATOM (Australian Teachers of Media), First Nations Media, and NARIS (National Alliance for Remote Indigenous Schools).
