Irish PhD candidate in Intellectual Property Law at the University of Bristol. Interested in artistic copyright, legal and social perspectives of art, inclusion within copyright law and the arts.
Excited to share my first journal article in the European Intellectual Property review! It explores visual biases in UK copyright law and how this may marginalise blind/tactile artists by failing to recognise tactile art (works experienced by touch).

Explore smells in art with Keith Harrison's 'Wreath' (2013). The bulbs have been dipped in terracotta slip mixed with incense. When the lights are switched on, the heat produced fires the clay and causes the incense to release its scent.

DACS believes govt should not adopt an extended text & data mining exception, but instead support the UK’s strong copyright framework by encouraging collective and transactional copyright licensing, which benefit both rightsholders and AI developers.

Tried stone carving for the first time @bristoluni.bsky.social sculpture festival. Might keep my attempt at an ammonite for a future presentation about tactile artwork- it feels more realistic than it looks (or so I’ve been telling myself)

Overcame a bout of writer’s block today with a beautiful view of Seefin Mountain (Ballyhoura Mountains, Co. Limerick).

In November, I shared my research regarding the visual-centric lens UK copyright uses to define sculptural artworks, and the issues this may cause for sensory artists, at the Sensory Innovations and Creativity in the Arts symposium at @hmileeds.bsky.social

Was really excited to explore Sienna Murdoch’s incredible geline works via touch at No9 Cork Street yesterday. Lots to think about for my PhD research on how #copyright handles non-visual and #tactileart

Been experiencing lots of sensory artworks this weekend which has solidified my belief even further that the definition of art within the UK’s copyright act needs updating. Thought I’d share a few of my favourites:
