The lane | 2020
First lockdown. I went looking for sanity, I found peace.
I printed images and made 10 little books at home. I gave copies to the neighbours of the lane.

The Gearagh | 2017
The Gearagh is the only post glacial alluvial forest in Western Europe and forms a delta on the river Lee in County Cork. The Irish name, An Ghaoraidh means the wooded river.
In the 50s, the construction of 2 reservoirs downstream to generate electricity and regulate the flow of the river resulted in the destruction of 60% of the Gearagh’s specific ecosystem.
The difficult task of falling the trees in this network of streams took 3 years and as a result, tree stumps were left in place and covered by the rising water of the reservoir.
The stumps would appear and disappear as the water levels were regulated.
The Gearagh is now a protected site.
Seen City | 2016
Cork City Museum
Seen City is a mosaic of 59 images taken in Cork over a period of 18 years.
The mix of image sizes, silver and digital prints, colour and black & white, reflects the evolution of my practice as much as the evolution of the city.
The images combine in a relationship that never was to present a resilient portrait of Cork.
The selection was put together during CorkPhoto 2016.
