from The Very End of Everything (2021-2024)
The project takes as its inspiration the story of French author Antonin Artaud's ill-fated visited to Inis Mór in 1937, which ended in chaos & deportation. The project title is taken from a letter written from Artaud to Andre Bréton from Galway:
"You are going to see, once you have examined the Magic Spell, that things are about to become serious and that this time, I'm going to the very end of everything."
The series uses a combination of photographic techniques & formats to create a shifting, fragmentary record. The work explores the concept of peripheral spaces, the idealisation of place, & the elusive nature of artistic revelation.
