'I participated in a residency on the Beara Peninsula and experimented with incorporating the land into my process. I walked to Ardgroom, along the Beara Way, in all weathers passing the shell of an old cottage. I looked for it each time and photographed it. The landscape disappeared as I gazed across Kenmare Bay. The world turned white. A hailstorm. It lifted and a rainbow framed Dogs Point.
From Eyeries, I followed the coast to Kilcatherine Point, past the fossilised Cailleach Beara staring out to sea, forever waiting for her husband, the God of the Sea, to return. Amongst the headstones at the cemetery, were at least fifty rocks, marking the graves of the Cornish Miners brought over in the 19th century for copper extraction. As the sun dipped, it lit-up the bog’s tall, slender dancing grasses along Lough Fadda.'

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.
You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.
