This artist has kindly created a deeply personal piece of visual poetry for Balaclava.Q. Kapsaski says “Growing up: gender identity and sexual orientation felt like a prison, until I realized the jailer was not society but me myself“.

Working internationally, exhibiting mainly across Europe and N/S. America O'Ceallaigh's focus is an exploration of the understanding of a queer aesthetic, if indeed, there is one.
A personal journey, and an acknowledgement to the status flux, O'Ceallaighs work seeks to emancipate those who know it, simply by promoting discourse around areas such as HIV, queer art censorship, body politic and internalised shame/stigma>pride, and fundamentally an effort to reduce hate... in all its forms.
