EDGE

This project is a personal, non-documentary response to the State’s hostility towards homeless International Protection Applicants, particularly on and around Dublin’s Grand Canal. I’m delighted it’s one of fifteen short-listed projects from over 700 worldwide submissions to Photo Museum Ireland’s inaugural International Open Awards Reflecting the Real, which opened on Saturday July 5th and continues until August 24th. Other works from the series will be seen in A R C H I P E L A G O later this year. Curated by Davey Moor, this will be a major exhibition of Irish photography in the RHA main gallery, featuring seventeen artists whose practice spans the myriad of themes that concern lens-based culture of the country’s photographers today. The work will also be featured in a 10 page portfolio in Source Photographic Review later this year.
