“I took this photo … after the first real burst of summer and just around that time some of us were maybe looking forward to a few more slightly cooler days.”
I took this photo on the evening of 7 June after the first real burst of summer and just around that time when some of us were maybe looking forward to a few more slightly cooler days again.
I was just about to turn onto Fontenoy Street when the near-silhouette of two kids in their hammocks caught my eye and I decided to go ahead and at least try to shoot the scene with my phone, despite the head-on glare of the sun.
Reviewing later, the shots were predictably over-exposed, but nonetheless I fired up the photo-editor to see if I could at least manipulate an approximation of what my eyes really experienced at that moment.
I am a Dublin-based sculptor, photographer, composer and interaction designer. I create artefacts from moments captured as drawing, text, music, video, sound and object. I am motivated by the interpretations these artefacts can provoke, while at the same time presenting them simply as rewritten moments from my daily ritual and experience at home, at work – or just passing through from one place to the next.
I am currently preparing for a collaborative exhibition with the artist Noel Hensey at Ardgillan Gallery in October and my conceptual video, photographic and audio works can be experienced at www.wildernish.com.
“If I’m delving into something difficult, I don’t mind going into the shadow canyon, but I do like to come out of it as well."
The Dublin DJ and producer’s new album “Our Wires”, is “likely to be my Irish electronica release of the year”.
"Thérèse" is a story about grief, classism, womanhood, generational trauma, and the weight of a life watching injustices stack up on top of each other.
Their exhibition, Only Handle It Once runs, in the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland until 30 August.
