You can picture a house. You can imagine its constituent parts and associated objects, the actions and routines carried out within its walls. A child can outline a shape that most would say is a house. But how do you show home? How do you use the right words, forms and shapes; a vocabulary that truly illustrates the meaning of home? How do you share the feeling of home? Is it possible to show our instinct of and yearning for home?
Chris Finnegan is a visual artist and arts educator from Cork who works primarily through photography. His work explores everyday occurrences, mundane objects and events. Recently moved back to Ireland after over a decade in the UK, his current practice centres on the home; critically interrogating ideas of home-making, childhood and the domestic sublime. He regularly collaborates with his young sons.
Chris has exhibited work extensively in Ireland, the UK and internationally, including; Institute of Photography Penryn, GoMA Glasgow, Fringe Arts Bath, the LA Centre for Digital Arts. In 2023 his photographic series House Rules was published by PhotoIreland as a TLP Edition.
