Conlon has been taking photographs in the market area of Dublin 7 over the last decade, documenting the slow deterioration inside the market as it prepared to close its doors and the traders dispersed. It is now closed since 2019 to make way for significant refurbishment. It presently lies idle apart from being a storage space for a construction company as new hotels besiege the area. Now that the artist cannot gain entry inside, she continues photographing the building outside to keep up connection to the place.
