Returning home to Donegal, in the north-west of Ireland, the place functions as a backdrop and generator to create a suite of new films and installations. In the process of trying to make sense of a place at once known and strange, the work looks closely at what was once familiar. The work explores themes that include the passage of time, specifics of place and language, memory and emotional connection and disconnection. The landscape, hedges, fields and ditches become steadfast observers while times change and fortunes and people come and go.
The work made for this exhibition was generously supported by a Film Project Award from The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
