Journal of an Artist Residency / Miles to date 4,171/ Primary Carbon Footprint to date 1,139 kg = 1.139 tonnes. Wednesday, June 4, 2008. In many ways this unfolding project has been an attempt to discern the ways in which rural space is ordered and controlled and to locate occluded or counter-hegemonic practices and thinking. Was developed in response to the passion for local history that I encountered all over Tipperary but particularly in Silvermines. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Journal of an Artist Residency / Miles to date 4,171/ Primary Carbon Footprint to date 1,139 kg = 1.139 tonnes. Friday, November 14, 2008. Well, after I found out that the Arts Council had declined to fund the Silvermines publication, I went back to the drawing board. All credit due to the Arts and Heritage Offices of North Tipperary County Council who were willing to work with me on the development of a follow on project, which I have provisionally titles 'Silvermines Story Map'. She outlined that her i...

Journal of an Artist Residency / Miles to date 4,171/ Primary Carbon Footprint to date 1,139 kg = 1.139 tonnes. Wednesday, August 29, 2007. End of an era. Expenses 15 euro hardware 150 euro on food for the pub night. Well, it's all over. I can't say I am sorry - it was such a strain really in the end on family, work, domestic life in general. At 2 pm Robin Wallace came by and took me down Shallee mine - so. I made a bit of a dart for the exit, but then it seemed to stop. Later I talked to a man who h...

Journal of an Artist Residency / Miles to date 4,171/ Primary Carbon Footprint to date 1,139 kg = 1.139 tonnes. Friday, May 25, 2007. Do not be misled. I had to stop outside Thurles and photograph this - it was actually an election campaign tool, not mentioning any names but I wish I had thought of it. I rushed into Nenagh to pick up the key for the Space Shuttle which arrived on Monday. I'm feeling really frustrated artistically at the moment. Friday, May 18, 2007. Place, Tourism and Regulation.

Journal of an Artist Residency / Miles to date 4,171/ Primary Carbon Footprint to date 1,139 kg = 1.139 tonnes. Thursday, April 26, 2007. It's election time again here; the charade of democracy where politicians come around and promise the sun, moon and stars, then sell everything off to corporations once they get their hands on power. Or, in the case of Shell, give everything to corporations. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Expenses 16 euro on food. I drove the scenic route back to Silvermines - wow! Three y...
