My work and my life have both been heavily influenced by nature. Coming from a rural Irish background I am a subject of nature. I wanted to covey this theme of nature’s power to reclaim through time, lands which were stolen from it. My work depicts abandoned dwellings which are losing a battle against nature’s power to restore itself. My work explores the ‘circle of life’, as Mother Earth becomes the new tenant of a house which was once home to a family of people. Exploring the growth nature has on these places I capture details of the home such as, a fireplace, a door or a window. These are all main aspects of any home and are now merely fragments of what has been left behind.
