HomeTown, Jason McCarthy

Description

"Jason McCarthy's ode to Drogheda, his hometown, encompasses everyday urban spaces, housing, streets, forgotten corners, dereliction, the post-industrial, anu the edge lands where the urban gradually gives way to the rural and to the ebb and flow of the majestic River Boyne.

McCarthy's striking portraits are of the people who inhabit these places. All are looking directly at the camera and, hence, at the viewer, each person confident in their body language, presentation, and individuality.

Hometown speaks of rootedness, belonging, and connection. Of being shaped by a place and also being intrinsic to shaping it. McCarthy's photographs are imbued with insight, quietness, and stillness that give a particular perspective on his hometown." (Words by Curator Dorothy Smith
