No Distance. Artist's practice is concerned with the slippage between a moment and an image. She investigates the construction and arrangement of time and document as revealed through both the moving image and painted still. Her works combine moments of sync and resolution with unsettling agitations in the recorded form.

Void is an artist-led contemporary art space housing two gallery spaces, six studios, an education area and a conference room. Void has 7 exhibitions per year showing work of established international and Irish artists.
Void exists to present the contemporary visual arts and to support artists, through a programme of exhibitions, related educational and outreach activities from a national and international perspective.
The project promoters at Void have stated that they intend on using visual art to encourage co-operation and tolerance within all sectors of the community.
Void is now in its third year and has established an international reputation with its wide-ranging and challenging exhibition programme. In February 2008 the White Light Festival saw Void exhibiting work outside the gallery walls for the first time. Hopefully this is the start of a regular outreach programme which will further increase interest in contemporary visual art.
Voids latest exhibition is by Irish artist Niamh O’Malley.
