Chinese Ink Painting 'Aga' - Origional Art Work

This work continues the Making Home theme, focusing on the Irish kitchen and the memories people carry through the objects that once filled it.

Kitchens are never just functional spaces—they hold stories, habits, and inherited ways of living. In Ireland, many of these memories are tied to familiar domestic objects that shaped daily life, from well-worn utensils to the centrepiece of many homes: the Aga.

The Aga is a complex, almost monstrous piece of equipment in hindsight—part stove, part heater, part household engine. It is something no modern child would instinctively know how to operate, yet it once sat at the heart of the home, shaping routine, warmth, and rhythm.

This body of work reflects on these objects as carriers of memory, and how they connect us to a shared domestic past.
