Lost Space

These images explore hidden narratives in the decaying structures of Achill. In a ruined nineteenth century monastery, a roofless coastguard station and a derelict flat-roofed house enclosed space becomes saturated with memory.
Long gone Franciscan monks linger in the courtyards they created...disappeared coastguards are inundated with rotting rafters and rain, and the loose threads of a story go untold by a fireplace...
