About this artwork
A small forest runs alongside the Depuy Canal through High Falls in upstate New York. In midwinter it presents a bleak scene, a landscape shot through with man-made structures. Some of these were impressive, others simply curious.
All these human endeavors were proving to be temporary, some more intentionally than others. From the cutting of the canal through the rolling hills to the rough containers of sand taped up for target practice, some… measure of violence pervaded the space.
The picture dimensions are 47cm x 66cm with a 6cm border, permitting 1cm to facilitate framing, the intention being a 5cm border all around. The work is pigment printed on archive quality paper stock with zero optical brighteners.

I explore mortality and identity through a series of journeys through the landscape. I’ve been inspired by the work of land artists and performance artists besides photographers, from Richard Long through Ana Mendieta to the work of Anne Golaz, Bertien van Manen as well as Paul Caponigro, Robert Adams, Awoiska van der Molen and Thomas Joshua Cooper.
I was born in Dublin but have worked in the US for many years. I am now a photographer and film-maker, albeit with an extensive background in curation and art direction. I've produced three feature films and a number of shorts, but my principal medium is photography. I also pursue publishing, collaborating with poets and writers, in particular scientists.
I approach my subjects through a prolonged period of discovery, a journey through a landscape. I move forward on the basis of trust and eventually something emerges. I explore intimate landscapes, notably ritual sites or where the remains of humanity are present in various forms.
