Stone Ghosts

My work for two major exhibitions, ‘Stone Ghosts’ and ‘Crossing Place’, was to some degree an attempt to understand, and express my response to the environment and history of rural West Cork. They address ideas of emigration, home, exile and return. They engage with the long connection between Ireland and England and the role of England as a crossing place in the wider Irish diaspora.
