I make PERFORMANCE, LIVE & VIDEO works using autobiography as content and exploring relationship between self and others.
My works are autobiographical and re-enact/re-present episodes
from lived experience with the aim of making the personal political and the singular mutual.

This site contains folders of PERFORMANCE WORKS 2000-2007
including images, descriptions and texts

Lois Keidan Director of the Live Art Development agency in London:
"Aine is making some of the most mature, intelligent and accomplished work imaginable dealing with complex and important issues such as motherhood, gender, belief and responsibility. Few other artists have her depth or her rigour or are able to address such complex ideas in simple and highly accessable ways." 2003
