Location: London
Website: www.b-een.com I am an Irish-American artist, living and working in London. My non-linear, narrative based videos explore personal experience (the individual's) with a transpersonal (collective or historical) message. I often approach the theme of identity because the act of self-identification constantly throws one into crisis, because it requires one to differentiate oneself from others. I have just completed my MA (Fine Art) at the Royal College of Art.
