An exploration of relationship with place.

During 2024 I worked on a series of artworks exploring the relationship between myself and where I live in North Roscommon. I used only materials I had gathered from within walking distance of my front door.

The resulting work is the story of the seasons during which I made it, the cyclical rhythms of the more-than-human world around me.

It is the story of disability, of my own rhythms in that time, the limitations and frustrations of dealing with an impaired body. It is the story of relationship, of the land sustaining me and me attempting to look after it, often by neglect. It is the story of love, of a deep gratitude for this earth we live on, this part we play in each other’s lives.
