This work is a personal response that bears witness to the experiences of people seeking asylum being forced into homelessness by State policy. It was made in the hope that we may more readily offer welcome, protection, and dignity to those most in need.

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.
