"During the year 1993, my family lived in my late grandmother’s house in the rural parish of Stradinagh, Leitrim, for 9 months. 30 years later, I decided to visit this house-a property that remains to this day untouched since that time, as it has remained under my family’s ownership. Examining how the lack of presence has an effect on the prevailing spaces and atmospheres, this series of images traces the remaining fabric, inside and out, and explores how the home is tangled with our sense of identity-how it is a personal, indefinable space. How much of our identity is tied into our homes and, more importantly, what meaning can we derive from these absent spaces?" (Words by Muireann Dolan.)
