I began with a house I already knew.

​

My grandparents house, which led me to Ireland, to my Granny's childhood home. 

 

Scallionstown - a townland which is a small, Gaelic division of land used to trace ancestry, which my Granny's home still sits within, Ireland Co. Mayo.

 

This house is an open book, telling stories of generations; some born here, some passed here and generations who came together, sharing beautiful cherished memories including some of my own. 

​

Through this work, I've come to question what a house really is. Presence still lingers in photographs, in the arrangement of rooms and furniture. 

​

This question continues to unfold. It is guided as much by intuition as by documentation, leading my curiosity towards other family homes. 

​

Please enjoy my depiction of my Granny's childhood home. It deserves to be seen and appreciated in a world of creatives who crave more.
