Paradise Lost forms a portrait of an idyllic environment, a place, which has offered refuge for humans, animals, and flora.
The lake and surrounding woodland have been sold. There remains a great deal of uncertainty and speculation over the future of this special place and its wildlife. It is thought that the lake will be drained to create a housing development or closed off for private game shooting and hunting.
This work considers how greed and desire for power can decimate the world as once known, ending happiness, inflicting lasting pain and despair. These images seek to convey the emotions elicited by uncertainty, vulnerability, and impending loss.
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.
PhotoIreland is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland to develop support projects such as the TLP Editions.
