A series of images – photos taken of John Joe showing me how to cast a line, from his residence in Fermoy into my studio in the Glen – rivers connecting in memories
Worlds within worlds
This was a weaving echo… Mary at Cluain Dara remembering the blankets made in the mills along the Blackwater … with their characteristic pink stripe… this gesture was a reaching into that time and memory ..as she remembers the newly made blankets hanging out to dry on the bans of the river and she playing amongst them with her friends … the excitement of hiding and finding and the laughter raised in the labyrinth of their folds
Here is the poster in Fermoy Library inviting guests to take a seat at our table within the exhibition of our threads annd trails
and here are some fish… tench trout salmon perch eel and more species found in the Blackwater and tributaries…portraits perhaps…
